It’s also neat how “ground” has been deepening. It used to mean building mainframe from source. Then building a compiler. Now building from logic gates.
How much deeper can you get? Building a mainframe out of Gödel numbers?

NAND is popular probably because of nand2tetris, but it's worth mentioning that NOR is also a universal gate; and many early computers like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer#Logic... were entirely made of NOR gates.

One curious idea my friends have entertained is to go one level even deeper and emulate the very transistors that make up the NAND gates on the web, too. It would certainly spell disaster for performance, but it's without-a-doubt interesting.
Do you know any resources that document the transistor to logic gate translation?
Can anybody recommend challenges similar to this one?

If not, I think a NAND gate is made of just two transistors, so if you mean emulating how transistors should behave then I don't think it will affect performance more than ~50%
