@llimllib @eli_oat Thanks! 😄

I see, you might have found it from the IOCCC winners this year. But the author seems to have been working on it for a long time.

This is in the part of the idea space where the build toolchain is complex but the runtime is simple. Though I still have questions: is the binary including all of SDL? Do the terminal programs include an emulator, or simply emit escape codes, and therefore require terminals to be eternal as well 😄

My interest runs more in the direction of making software eternal by making it simple to understand rather than simple to run. Here I think future civilizations don't really have a leg up understanding the programs compared to the emulation based approach.

Still, this seems worth investing in. It improves on the status quo. Somebody build a complete EternalOS distro out of this!
