I wish this had much better readme... What is this? And why is this important/interesting..?

Agreed. The first sentence in a readme should always be what it is, does and why... even when it seems super obvious from the name (which is definitely not the case this time around anyway).

repository description is a start: " Parallel OS, with GUI, Terminal, OO Assembler, Class libraries, C-Script compiler, Lisp interpreter and more... "

Honestly, that seems like a string of unrelated things glued together. I don't want to be mean of course, it's just confusing (though if the project is all of that, the documentaiton might be reflective of the confusing state of the project).
