This is something I've been fantasizing about for long.

Let's say we took Rust, a language that makes parallelization easier than others (as it helps you avoid some common footguns). How difficult would it be to have a massively parallel computer system made out of many tiny, simple microcontroller-like chips? Let's say we picked many little Risc-V's. Surely this would be an interesting experiment (though I'm not sure whether it'd make economic sense or not...)

So smaller penises are rewarded with higher salaries?

It is a choice indeed. Well worded.

Yeah, this is what always surprises me with modern software targeted towards low-specced computers.

Windows XP run fine in 256MB ram computers yet it could be altered to make it look fantastic, with the Royale or Royale Noir themes.

I guess even Linux back then could be made beautiful on similarly specced computers. Yet, AntiX or even LxQt is hideous despite consuming more resources!

I believe there were some efforts to port Rust to the Nintendo Switch as well.

But you can still sideload them, right?

I will pluralize as all of them port some drivers from Linux

BSDs and other Open Source OSes that rely on Linux drivers.

Windows probably has not many (or any) drivers ported from Linux.

I think this is true. But that'd be nonetheless up to the subsystem maintainers.
