In my opinion, this is the coolest thing tom7 has ever done. It just barely works, relying on unexpected wrapping behavior for the instruction pointer and a series of medium-sized jumps to ever jump backwards, and a truly heinous mechanism for sending an interrupt to exit the program.
The fact that the paper contains the compiler executable (compiled by itself) is just amazing.
