What a cool person. I really enjoy writing assembly, it feels so simple and I really enjoy the vertical aesthetic quality.

The closest I've ever come to something like OP (which is to say, not close at all) was when I was trying to help my JS friend understand the stack, and we ended up writing a mini vm with its own little ISA: https://gist.github.com/darighost/2d880fe27510e0c90f75680bfe...

This could have gone much deeper - i'd have enjoyed that, but doing so would have detracted from the original educational goal lol. I should contact that friend and see if he still wants to study with me. it's hard since he's making so much money doing fancy web dev, he has no time to go deep into stuff. whereas my unemployed ass is basically an infinite ocean of time and energy.



You should leverage that into your friend teaching you JS, maybe.


It’s like my friend 0x86 always said: “Stay away from JavaScript. But stay away from TypeScript harder.”


thank you for this, even though I took some time to understand what's going on which lead me to a series of cool(and very challenging) assembly journey, as a non CS major myself, this code here is a really nice entry for me to start understand how things work, I will definitely dig deeper.
