N2T_Suite is a Nand2Tetris suite written in C++20 with the goal of improving error messages and overall UX to reduce friction for students while following the book or the online course. It takes inspiration from both the Java suite and the Web IDE provided by the original authors and aims to follow the behavior of the original Java suite whenever it doesn't impact usability.
Note
The suite is still being developed and currently is still missing features.

I want to thank Noam Nisan, Shimon Schocken and the entire Nand2Tetris team for making the course and the tools.
- Nand2Tetris Java suite - the original debugger with which I originally followed the course and still think is the better version despite being a bit clunky
- Nand2Tetris Web IDE - IDE that I've been used to check for compatibility and for debugging
- The Elements of Computing Systems - original books whose "appendices" section describes how the languages and OS used work
