@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/
