I like the approach taken here - pants&#x2F;PEX is a bit of a monster (no offense intended - it&#x27;s a very smart monster, but a monster nonetheless).<p>I&#x27;m glad to see projects taking a simpler approach to zip apps - pants makes sense if you&#x27;re trying to package legacy apps with huge sets of dependencies, but it&#x27;s overkill for smaller apps.<p>However, the author needs to add some test coverage before I&#x27;d feel comfortable contributing or using it.
