I keep wondering what’s so special about ACPU, but I can’t seem to find a definite answer.
Some of the story is academic: PhD research on ACPUL at the Animation CPU Studio Institute — a programming language, a VM, a survival OS, a cyberdeck, and freedom. The compiler side stands on Coco/R: real tech from the Institute for System Software at Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU, Austria)—attributed grammars, generated scanner and parser—the same research line as the PhD thesis work (Coco/R project).
