C Actually portable executables

Cosmopolitan Libc makes C/C++a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD 7.3 + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

Polyglot means multi-lingual person right? From the dictionary. So it jives. Multi-lingual compiler output.

I always see POSIX-Compliant term used. POSIX Committee may have approved the format but your never hear it phrased that way.
 
the woman behind APE is an avowed, open, fascist and we avoid her projects because the ones that aren't named with racist dogwhistles are named with antisemitic dogwhistles

Maybe she doesn't know he's a billionaire... she needs to take a ride on his yacht 😁

I like her website though, lots of interesting technical stuff. She clearly knows her onions. Ape/cosmopolitan looks like an interesting project, its certainly a difficult challenge to make a thing like that work well, so she's not scared of tackling the hard stuff. More power to her :-)
 
Tunney released the third edition of Cosmopolitan, the libc implementation used to make Redbean, which compiles a single binary that runs on multiple operating systems

So is libc baked into the single binary? A real portable application?

Would this portable application using libc binary run on a locked down system?

elf(5)

man.freebsd.org man.freebsd.org

ld.so

man.freebsd.org man.freebsd.org

So this project is a polyglot compiler with a runtime engine builder? Is that an accurate assessment?
