Over the past few months a recurring theme has emerged in my inbox, as well as within the community channel, and it is one that I have been chewing on for a while now. Several of you have, kindly and very politely, told me more or less the same thing, which is that even though the topics I write about are interesting enough, the posts themselves have grown so long and so dense that actually getting through one of them has turned into something of a commitment rather than the casual read it probably ought to be.

I cannot really argue with that, because it is true....

For example, it earns the achievement, coveted in OS dev circles, of being self-hosted.1 TempleOS is written in Terry’s own bespoke dialect of C and includes an editor, interpreter, and compiler, as well as a number of original games.
