The software projects in chapters 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 are written in Go, which I chose for its combination of simplicity, strong typing, and memory management with pointers. The solution to each chapter (if it doesn't involve completing existing files) can be found in the `_solution` directories.\n\n## Table of Contents\n- [Assembler](projects/ch06/_solution)\n- [Virtual Machine](projects/ch08/_solution)\n- [High-Level Language](projects/ch09/_solution)\n- [Compiler](projects/ch11/_solution)\n- [Operating System](projects/ch11/_solution)\n\n## Assembler\nImplementation of a two-pass assembler for the Hack assembly language, converting assembly code into machine code.\n\n## Virtual Machine\nDevelopment of a virtual machine that translates VM commands into Hack assembly, providing a high-level abstraction for programming.\n\n## High-Level Language\nWriting high-level programs in Jack, showcasing the full stack from high-level code to hardware execution.\n\n## Compiler\nConstruction of a compiler for the Jack programming language, transforming high-level Jack code into VM commands.\n\n## Operating System\nCreation of a simple operating system that provides essential services for the Jack programming environment.\n\n## Usage\nTo use the implementations, follow the instructions provided in each module's README and run the provided scripts or programs as specified.\n\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foresttokovenko%2Felements_of_computing_systems","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Foresttokovenko%2Felements_of_computing_systems","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Foresttokovenko%2Felements_of_computing_systems/lists"}
