Wow!
With today's CPUs you probably wouldn't stand a chance, no matter how good you are.
On the contrary. Just because x86 is a baroque monstrosity doesn't mean simple, powerful ISAs are unpossible.
I can only agree as to the baroque monstrosity. Let me put it another way: Could she do it with comparable ease on today's ARM CPUs?
