About

Software used to be written by people who understood every layer. Allocraft still works that way.

Most modern software is assembled from other software. Allocraft goes the other way: pick something hard, read the specification, and write the whole thing. It's slower, and it produces systems that are small, fast and fully understood.

I. Start from the spec

Documentation over tutorials. Standards over wrappers.

II. Own every layer

No frameworks or third-party libraries. The language, the compiler and the spec.

III. Written, not generated

No vibe coding. Every line is typed, read and understood.

IV. Take the time it takes

An operating system is measured in months. That time is the point.

Behind Allocraft

Programming by hand is becoming a lost skill.

Allocraft exists to keep it alive: to find out how far one developer can go with nothing but knowledge, patience and a compiler.
