Still, understanding any general purpose CPU gets you most of the way. Virtual memory and memory protection isn't terribly far off, could be implemented using paging. A very simple feature complete system could be made. A very basic model, yet working. A union between theory and practice- Heartbleed is because of memory and cache shenanigans. More like how things can get wrong if you optimize too hard. While important, it feels like another line of thinking.
