minus-square@MonkderDritte@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months ago People believed that they could write better assembly. For speed and size. Now we know we can’t write better C. Though my teacher in tech school a few years ago ran an entire OS, where everything is written in assembler. What was it?
minus-square@Macros@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoMaybe Kolibri OS? Its an amazing project, booting from a single floppy disk into a full graphical OS with multiple tools. And that on PCs with almost no RAM. I sometimes use it to backup ancient PCs.
