It's always nice to see others programming in Jakt. I've written a couple of network device drivers (rtl8139, virtio-net) and a TCP/IP stack in Jakt that is used in my TempleOS fediverse server project[1].

I also contributed some patches to Sophia's jaktnesmonster NES emulator a few years back, adding support for some popular mappers, as well as a TempleOS port, and more recently wired everything up[2][3] to use Serenity's native libraries (LibGUI, LibAudio, etc.)

Nice! Ok maybe Jakt can be used for more non-trivial stuff than I gave it credit for :)

Worth mentioning that the Jakt compiler is self hosting as well
