This looks like a cool project. It looks like it is up to the host language to compile to bytecode and do all the type analysis before passing that info to the verifier. Looks like there is no VM yet, it just verifies the bytecode and then prints it. But it looks like the host language must also be written in Rust because the main `go` method is expecting rust types. Is that correct?

Mostly right. We're still in a prototyping phase for sure. The verifier is still in progress, the execution will follow. That said, the main method of the program reads from a file called `bin.svm` which has the bytecode, and which could be generated by any language that can do binary file I/O. There will be more ways to hook into the VM in the future, as well as other SaberVM implementations that compile the bytecode to native binary or Wasm.
