#2I find TempleOS endlessly fascinating. The author is troubled, but an impressive coder nonetheless. The C compiler REPL covered in this video is actually kinda awesome.

#3Is it essentially a C interpreter that runs on the metal? Or is there more to it? What about device drivers?

Does the C standard define a compiler? Then this is not C, otherwise, depends how close it is to the standard, that is how many shortcuts and workarounds are used. On Linux you can use GDB to achieve similar results, I guess.

"However, no continent is represented by any specific ring. Prior to 1951, the official handbook stated that each color corresponded to a particular continent: blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for the Americas; this was removed because there was no evidence that Coubertin had intended it (the quote above was probably an afterthought)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_symbols#The_Rings

Focusing on this small part of the video is stupid and just baiting

#9This takes me back to when computers had a lot fewer layers. He's inspired by Apple ][ and C64, but it's also reminiscent of Smalltalk-80 and Lisp machines, with the live UI links, inspectors, first-class graphic objects... I also enjoyed the birds screeching in mid demo.

Why did you leave out the parts that are inconvenient to the narrative you're making up? "Europe should be blue" - is that racist?
I guess the technical achievement means nothing. Where is your certificate of political correctness?
Why is it socially acceptable to bully like this?
