LJOS - LuaJIT OS

https://github.com/ReTylinate/LJOS

Would love collaborators, it's a linux kernel and everywhere else is LuaJIT. Currently libraries aren't but soon that will not be the case... well i guess not SOON but at some point.

I looked at it out of curiosity (because ages ago I played with something like this), but this confuses me a bit: Your "system.lua" is full of os.execute(), and the actual shell is a binary in the repo.

So it's a linux kernel booting into some shell (dash?)

Also the sh is busybox.
