has he? making a booting from metal OS is a semester long undergraduate project, and this person has been working on it for way longer than that. in a semester, university programs expect you to write a kernel that boots to a shell with virtual memory management and multi-tasking. templeos doesn't even have virtual memory management.

He doesn't want virtual memory management... the guy wrote his own just in time compiler that compiles and runs programs on the fly...
Most universities let most programmers avoid doing all of that by themselves, which is probably the most impressive part of this project.
TempleOS doesn't want nor need VMM. That is what static analysis and being a "Real Programmer" ;-) is for.
