Busybox is not an OS.

If Busybox is not an OS, then neither is GNU.

GNU is not an OS either. GNU/Hurd is. GNU/Linux is.

That is factually correct.

I do not disagree.

I think you should do some reading on what an operating system is.

I think you should do some reading on my comment.

All language runtimes are just like OSes when targeted to run bare metal.

However I don't know if that is the case here.
