Author here, Tail calls can be implemented in MiniVM bytecode. There was once an instruction that performed a tail call, It bit-rotted due to not being used.

MiniVM is moving very quickly currently. A lot still needs to be done, like JIT and optimizers.

Eventually a formal specification of MiniVM should happen, just not yet as things are changing too fast.

Speaking of wasm, any idea how feasible it would be to convert wasm to minivm bytecode and use it as a wasm runner?
