the GUI code for the earliest macs was absolutely a great feat of engineering

by getting my hands dirty with the system, I'm impressed by the way things were designed for the wimpiest processors (and also getting a lot of insight into the flaws of the OS that were exposed as machines became more powerful)

They really managed to find ways to make it work despite the hardware of the day. There was a lot of hand coded assembly until the mid 90s.

I, and I’m sure a lot of others here, would love to read about that.
