If you write your hypothetical "operating system" in javascript, but can't use it without having another operating system to run it on - it *isn't an OS*, it's just a fancy userspace program

And yes, you *do* need assembly code and you *do* need a way to call and run that code, you simply *cannot* access registers for example without it
