Oh, amazing! I've heard of DuskOS before but I didn't realize its C compiler was written in Forth.

Looks like it makes quite a few changes to C so it can't really run unmodified C code. I wonder how much work it would take to convert a full C compiler into something DuskCC can compile.

One of my goals with Onramp is to compile as much unmodified POSIX-style C code as possible without having to implement a full POSIX system. For example Onramp will never support a real fork() because the VM doesn't have virtual memory, but I do want to implement vfork() and exec().
