Simplicity is a goal to $LK,"keep the line count down",A="FI:::/Doc/Strategy.DD"$, so it's easy to tinker with. As it turns-out, simplicity makes it faster in some ways, too. It never switches privilege levels, never changes address maps, tends to load whole contiguous files and other, similar things which boost speed. It's only $TX,"81,223",D="DD_TEMPLEOS_LOC_OFFICIAL"$ lines of code including the kernel, the 64-bit compiler, the graphics library and all the tools. More importantly, it's designed to keep the user's line count down -- you can do a $LK,"Hello World",A="FI:::/Doc/HelloWorld.DD"$ application in one line of code and can put graphics on the scrn with a three line program!

It's a kayak, not a Titanic -- it will crash if you do something wrong. You quickly reboot, however. DOS and the 8-bit home computers of the 80's worked fine without memory protection and most computers in the world -- the embedded ones -- operate without protection. The resulting simplicity of no protections is why TempleOS has value. In facts, that's the point of TempleOS. See the $LK,"TempleOS Charter",A="FI:::/Doc/Charter.DD"$.
