Hi all!

I have encountered nand2tetris a few times before when I wanted to learn more about how computers work and low level stuff. I have only very recently seriously started the course, and I'm already excited!

I know there is most likely a long and hard road ahead of me (implementing processors, assemblers and programming languages?!), but I feel like it will add a whole another level of understanding to my day-to-day developer job and to my love of computers and technology.

First chapter reminded me a lot of the game MHRD on Steam. It revolves around designing a CPU starting from basic NAND gates using their own HDL. I have completed that game, so the first steps feel very familiar, but at the same time I felt a bit down when the game ended. I wanted to continue the journey and nand2tetris is giving not only a lot more information about these first steps, but a much longer road ahead. This is my chance :)

Love this stuff, can't wait to see what's next!
