…clean, These days it is mainly for people who want a unix for their microcontroller. Here is one, https://github.com/RetroBSD/retrobsd . This is for the pic32, so I may be wrong about the 16-bit thing. I don't know if anyone has done it…

…to be a PIE, or to swap it out to disk as a part of a context switch. Check out RetroBSD < https://github.com/RetroBSD/retrobsd > and LiteBSD < https://github.com/sergev/LiteBSD >; there's a PID 0 (or 1? IIRC) that is called the "swapper"…

yeah, there was also LiteBSD https://github.com/sergev/LiteBSD but Retro is the more active project https://github.com/RetroBSD/retrobsd

You might appreciate the original implementation of awk. Good engineering everywhere. https://github.com/RetroBSD/retrobsd/tree/master/src/cmd/awk
