## Weird stuff
### Stuff that might seem weird and is allowed
- A C lib replacement, that's actually neat
- A custom scripting language
- A distributed OS, or one with a web-based UI (or both uwu)

### Stuff that might seem weird and is not allowed
- A full blown compiled lang
- A custom kernel (Sad rule, but not fair to use one)
- Something like ChromeOS where everything is just a web app
