The second, possibly bigger problem, is ruby itself: Ruby is full of programmer happiness,

and then compiled to Mom/Risc/Arm and the results stored in the method object.
%p
Compilation to Mom happens in two stages:
1. The linear statements/code is translated to Mom instructions.
2. Control statements are translated to jumps and labels.
%p
The second step leaves a linked list of machine instructions as the input for the next stage.
In the future a more elaborate system of optimisations is envisioned between these stages.
The Mom level exists to make the transition to Risc easier. It has a very abstract,
high level instruction set, where each single instruction may resolve to many tens
of lower level instructions. But it breaks down Vool's tree into an instruction
list, which is conceptually a much easier input for the next layer.

The Register machine layer is a relatively close abstraction of risc hardware, but without the
quirks.

The Risc machine has registers, indexed addressing, operators, branches and everything
needed for the next layer. It does not try to abstract every possible machine feature
needed to implement Mom. It does not try to abstract every possible machine feature
(like llvm), but rather “objectifies” the general risc view to provide what is needed for
the Mom layer, the next layer up.

Arm is a risc architecture, but anyone who knows it will attest, with it’s own quirks.
For example any instruction may be executed conditionally in arm. Or there is no 32bit
register load instruction. It is possible to create very dense code using all the arm
special features, but this is not implemented yet.

All Arm instructions are (ie derive from) Register instruction and there is an ArmTranslator
that translates RegisterInstructions to ArmInstructions.
The Arm::Translator translates that translates RegisterInstructions to ArmInstructions,
