Actually Portable Executables
Learned a lot from this and related pages, thanks a lot.<p>It is one of the best hack I've ever seen, ever. Although as others have pointed out I wouldn't consider it exactly elegant (IIUC basically shell script to morph it on first run on nix); Nor exactly ground breaking with the fat-binary-like concept, if you don't use platform specific libraries or calls anyway, cross compile works just fine? What's the use case here? I mean for platforms where performance or size overhead of vm-based languages is a problem, you probably don't want it to include extra code for other platforms anyway?<p>OTOH Blinkenlights looks really nice tho. I've see a dude live hand editing code page 417 with notepad.exe to change a jmp so it doesn't look for a CD with my own eyes ;)<p>Always admire hackers of this rank. I think Blinkenlights could help me achieve something similar someday if I allocate bandwidth to it, would spend lots of time to play with it.
