SectorC: A C Compiler in Just 512 Bytes 🤯

Modern software is bloated. We accept multi-gigabyte installs as normal. Then comes SectorC: a fully functional C compiler in 512 bytes. Less than the size of a text message. 🤯

This isn't a toy — it compiles real C code to x86-64 machine code. The trick? Extreme minimalism. It supports a subset of C, outputs raw binary, and exists entirely within a single boot sector. It's the kind of project that makes you question everything you know about software.

What it can do:

• ✅ Basic C syntax (variables, loops, functions)
• ✅ Compiles to standalone binaries
• ✅ Runs in a bootloader environment
• ❌ No standard library (obviously)
• ❌ Limited error checking

The project is part art, part engineering flex. It proves how little you actually need. Modern compilers (GCC, Clang) are millions of lines of code. SectorC fits on a business card.

For Gen Z developers drowning in npm dependencies and Docker containers, this is a breath of fresh air. Software can be simple. We just forgot how.
