Impressive achievement and great README documentation.
From 4 comments
Wow that is a great side-project, and a great README to boot. I've been meaning on working through Nand to Tetris after playing around some with Ben Eater's 6502 Computer…
rpmw on HNthis is fantastic! great work...
fire_ball on HNIncredible achievement! Good job.
greenavocado on HNThe readme is so detailed. God job.

Good learning resource, deep understanding of abstraction levels.

I could make a few college classes out of this. Well done material.
kristopolous on HNGreat work! You have seen the levels of abstraction that most programmers won't throughout their careers.

Objections
Seen as a clone of Nand2Tetris or existing gates project.
From 2 comments
Isn't this just Nand2Tetris? I've done that course and at a glance this looks the same including the Jack language.

Claimed use of a clock with NAND gates was questioned.
From 1 comment
Liar. You used NAND gates and a clock.

E-waste concern if physical chips were used.
From 1 comment
On one hand cool project, on the other - e-waste, unless made of recycled ics.

Requests
Physical or hardware version of the design.
From 1 comment
Would it be at all feasible to build a physical NAND-to-tetris computer? Or is it purely a virtual exercise?

Questions
How many NAND gates are in total?
From 1 comment
Curious, how many NAND gates are there in total?

Whether ring oscillator clocks converge to a single period.
From 1 comment
How do we know that that will converge to a single constant period of oscillation? Could you have a few different-sized square waves continue to cycle through the circuit? (I've…
