I don't know a lot about this os, but TAD was a genuinely talented programmer. I think that there's a more than decent chance that the code wasn't a rats-nest.

But you are right. It's at best a rough sketch. Still a massive accomplishment

this. However, if you're in cs undergrad, chances are you only wrote a parser, or at best a transpiler. There is a good chance if you took more involved courses you may have fucked around with LEX/YACC and done some TAC stuff.

I love this OS, but I hate the tards that think "this is fringe os, must be best os"... I even had some chromosome farmer try to claim that templeOS could be used for IoT devices.
