I gave it a try many years ago and its speed was jawdropping. Too bad that a port to ARM would require a complete rewrite; those cheaper lower end *Pi-like embedded boards seem just the perfect platforms to take advantage of such a small and fast OS.

For ARM32, RISC OS is probably the closest to the value proposition offered by Menuet, albeit with a decent amount of high level code and a lot more support from developers for applications, languages, and games.

If I'm not mistaken, both are written in FASM (Flat Assembler). And unfortunately FASM won't run in recent MacOSes because it's a 32-bit app. No problem with Windows/Linux, though.

You can run 32-bit Windows tools in macOS with Wine.

I thought that Wine only works up to macOS 10.14

I'm on Monterey 12.6.9, and confirm can run the latest FASM. Current problem is how to configure the include path so I can build programs.

On Windows it's very easy: check "Environment Variables", create an "INCLUDE" variable (if not exist), then set "C:\FASM\INCLUDE", for example.
