Interesting, I know only about Menuet64 OS as something similar, I'll have a look...

Hmm... :)
Size Starting with a clean slate we can say goodbye to bloated code and feature creep! As of the current version with the full CLI and internal functions, the operating system binary is only 16384 bytes. A standard "Hello, World!" example compiles to a file of only 31 bytes.

Oh yes, it's very experimental. You can type a dir command and run helloworld so just for studying purposes.
