Awesome project! The simple CPU target for a complex language excites me. I am looking for a more interesting target for this: https://github.com/tomlarkworthy/

So my vote would be on getting as much 3rd party stuff compiling as possible with the architecture you have. Linux would be amazing.
This guy did some cool work on compiling linux for 8 bit micros. Might be inspiring if you have not seen it: http://dmitry.gr/index.php?proj=07.+Linux+on+8bit&r=05.Projects http://dmitry.gr/index.php?proj=07.+Linux+on+8bit&r=05.Proje...
- robertelder 11y agoYeah, I actually read that guys blog post to see how practical it would be to run something like linux on a smaller word sized CPU. Since the CPU emulation code is only 325 lines of C, it wouldn't be a lot of work to port it to emulate the 32 bit instructions on a very small word size.
