Not to downplay 2MB of handwritten code in any language, but this is 2MB of potentially-handwritten code in a language with a hilariously small amount of abstraction and a minuscule instruction set (since it'd be a bit exaggerative to call it a standard library).
If this _is_ handwritten, I'm in awe of the developer's spatial orientation within their own code base.
