You are welcome to poke at my class "Simple Virtual Machines and
Language Translation" (https://www.cs.tufts.edu/cs/106/).  The virtual
machine is based on the Lua VM.  All the materials are available
online, but it's designed to fit into a curriculum and may not stand
on its own for self-study.

I also highly recommend craftinginterpreters.com, although there is a
bit too much Java for my personal tastes.
