RISC OS. Originally written for Acorn's Archimedes, the first user of
the ARM chip. Unusual in that it uses cooperative, not preemptive,
multitasking — your task has to let go of the CPU when it's okay to move
on. Written entirely in ARM assembly language, it's tiny and blazingly
fast. It's very much at home on the Raspberry Pi, which has a higher
spec than any machine that ever ran it commercially.
