A 30-year-old language optimized for future: Building a Zero-AST Virtual Machine in Go that can run ASP

Hey DEV community! 👋 I'm back again. If you think Classic ASP is dead, let me tell you: it is now more alive than ever.

The goal wasn't just to keep legacy code breathing; I wanted to push the boundaries of what this 90s language could actually achieve on modern hardware. I want to share some of the deep engineering optimizations we implemented under the
