Perhaps it would be interesting to program a virtual machine simulating
an ancient computer (such as the pdp-7). Then, it would be rather
interesting to code for it (porting gcc to it maybe?). I think it would
be fun to play with the long-forgotten art of coding in machine language.
And what about a fictional computer, such as one that works on an
entirely different way (such as a non-binary computer)?
It wouldn't be very useful, but it wouold be a very fun and very
interesting thing to hack on.
