On “How to save lox bytecode to file (from CraftingInterpreters).”

I would also recommend watching this short video about how processes and function calls work (I'm sure that CtCI would have covered a lot of it, but still) - link to this video The bit about how stack frames are pushed and popped, and the various "registers" at play (Stack Pointer etc.) is *crucial* to being able to develop a simple VM that can run all of your Lox code in just a few opcodes - maybe a dozen or so at most.
