I decided to solve this for people with legacy hardware. I’ve been building NF-1 (Neural Foundation), a language that thrives on devices with less than 512MB RAM. 🛠 The Core Logic: Manual-Automatic Hybrid The biggest challenge was memory. Python's garbage collector is heavy for low-end chips. In NF-1, I implemented a hybrid system that maps memory blocks directly and flushes them every 50ms without pausing the execution. Here’s a look at the NF-1 syntax: import "system.core" // Efficient memory allocation for low-end hardware func init_hardware() { set buffer = memory.allocate(256); if (buffer.active) { print("Hardware Linked Successfully!"); } } ✍️ Why I started on Paper? ​When I started at 14, I didn't have a high-speed PC. I spent months drawing Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) and logic gates o
