You take the time to write an entire o/s in Assembly. :-)

No, that's actually somewhat useful. Now this:

is crazy.

The extremes aren't very useful, overloading structures with code is
not a good idea. I would guess virus scanners and who knows who else
will have objectins, even if the kernel is happy.

Assembly can be good though; more than once have I used asmutils when
doing tricks with libraries so that no C programs ran.

Its nice, but only the old cruft is open sourced. The new and
interesting 64bit stuff is not. Well, it's a nice vintage demo, at
least.
