is a turing equivalent computer entirely built from a clock and NAND logic gates. NAND features its own machine code language, assembly language, assembler, VM language, VM translator, programming language, compiler, and IDE. NAND is based on the Jack-VM-Hack platform specified in the Nand to Tetris course.

Here is a technical breakdown of the technologies used to build NAND:

• Logic simulator: Rust compiled to WebAssembly on a WebWorker
• Assembler, VM translator, compiler, and IDE: TypeScript
• NAND's Example programs: Jack (NAND's programming language) utilizing JavaScript to help with debugging
• Frontend: Svelte with Vite
