He released the linux starter (BIOS) though. There is still hope. BTW. the starter contains assembler code. It is amazing to see this running in the browser.
Not really (and please hear me out!). The last thread had a few amazed commenter's remarking that they were surprised that there was a C compiler, or that they could do various things within it. The amazing part is that an x86 emulator was made that could start up a linux image - everything else is kind of obvious that it should work at that point since the x86 emulator was written so well.
So the amazing part is the emulator - everything else including the assembly etc should just work because well - it's supposed to!
