Wow! This is the Redbean which is an "Actually Portable Executable", or a binary that can run on a range of OSes (Linux, Windows, MacOS, BSDs).

Well worth a read:

I believe the best chance we have of [building binaries "to stand the test of time with minimal toil"], is by gluing together the binary interfaces that've already achieved a decades-long consensus, and ignoring the APIs. . . . Platforms can't break them without breaking themselves.
