VMs are a very interesting way to decompose a problem - you can implement the fundamental operations, test them thoroughly, and then generate bytecode and debug the bytecode implementation.

A couple years ago I thought about giving a presentation on a Golang VM I wrote to solve a simple problem, but it was seen as kind of a heterodox approach and I didn't want to deal with a million "umm acksully" questions about whether it was a real VM.
