docs(twitter): add 1651268028795961344 corpus (NOTimothyLottes DuskOS + Forth-as-asm)

5-post thread, 0 media, April 2023. NOTimothyLottes + @kenpex + @wadetb. Links DuskOS (a Forth-as-asm-level-OS). NOTimothyLottes: Forth as OLPC boot firmware has been done (openbios). 'Can make a custom forth to binary in a few K. Bring up a runtime assembler in the language and do anything fast and simple from that point, load libraries, make system/dll C calls. 100,000x complexity reduction in compiler toolchain size.' Seed of the whole Forth-in-runtime workstream that shows up in the Jul 2026 threads (nasm-bootstrapped 4 KiB Linux Forth, micro macro-forth, etc).

+@kenpex I find the context hilarious, but Forth as asm-level-yet-very-usable-mini-OS has been done, as the boot firmware for OLPC (http://laptop.org) for many years. Looks like it's currently open sourced as https://github.com/openbios/openbios.

+
+@wadetb Yes of course. Forth is a language that took me a while to grok (re:the why it makes sense) - but once I understood the context it totally does. @NOTimothyLottes experiments w/it are also fun.

+@kenpex @wadetb Can make a custom forth to binary in a few K. Bring up a runtime assembler in the language and do anything fast and simple from that point, load libraries, make system/dll C calls. 100,000x complexity reduction in compiler toolchain size.

+@NOTimothyLottes @kenpex @wadetb A few K? Why not just 1K? https://strlen.com/false-language/
