You should, it’s fun.

I have a devcontainer running the Cosmopolitan toolchain and stuck the cosmocc README.md in a file referenced from my AGENTS.md.

Claude does a decent job. You have to stay on top of it when it’s writing C, easy to turn to spaghetti.

Also the fat binary concept trips up agents - just have it read the actual cosmocc file itself to figure any issues out.

I've got it working. Used Mongoose. Unfortunately Actually Portable Executables seem to not play well with WSL, and the suggested fixes didn't work. I'm able to play with it in a VM. Not as portable as I'd hoped, but I'll see how it goes.
