As far as I know, nobody has yet built a microcode implementation of a Python VM (Virtual Machine). Nor have I seen one for the Java VM. However, in the early 80's there was a microcode implementation of the P-system VM. It was never a commercial success, but it existed. And there have been at least three Forth machines, where the hardware itself was designed to support the language's VM. No microcode at all.
