Knowing just a teensy bit of 68K and x86 assembly, I still am shocked to hear that there are "something like 16 load and 13 store instructions". Super... cool.

This post has given Starfighter a lot more flavour in my mind. Thanks, Erin!

- tptacek 11y agoWe're definitely not stopping with AVR. The original plan was, AVR, then compiler, then (architecture X), then launch. But compiler took so long that we're just going to do AVR and surface the compiler's IR as another architecture. We'll have (architecture X) done in a month or so. And a pretty hilarious "architecture" after that.
