by the creator of flat assembler[1] or community, if i am not mistaken. not an assembly programmer, but the syntax of flat assembler looks clean and nice.

There's a fork of this as well, though I don't know much about why the fork happened or anything:

That's a very cool project for tinkering. It's a small niche, especially that it's written in assembly, it limits the scope of the things one can play with. But nevertheless, it's a very enriching experience as well as a very unusual one.

This is so incredible. I would love to know if they’ve sold many commercial licenses, and what a typical commercial licensee use case would look like.

Thought that something like this would be good as a pre-boot environment. A lot smaller than EFI and perhaps more functional. Though debatable how good an idea that is. Guessing most folks don't want to program asm however.
