gollark: Program it yourself... IN POTATOASM™!
gollark: Hmm, this probably could be made TC if I have some mechanism for having different "processes" with different registers/memory space communicate.
gollark: I could probably have it share code with a disassembler, too, although even the ISA-as-currently-implemented allows a bunch of obfuscatory tricks.
gollark: I'm considering implementing the assembler in JS or Python or Rust or something, but it *would* be nice to have this available from within potatOS.
gollark: Honestly that's entirely unnecessary and I would probably only need simple splitting into lines and label handling, but you know.
