Read https://justine.lol/ape.html https://justine.lol/ape.html for a deep dive into how we managed to do it. It mostly just boils down to the numbers file mentioned in the last paragraph. That gets you far enough to do sockets and stdio. That in itself is a big step forward. Is it good enough to make apps like Excelidraw binary portable? Not yet. But it gets us much closer than we were before. Getting the rest of the way there is an ongoing topic of engineering and experimentation. Many people are helping. Further support is welcome from those who share a genuine interest in contributing to our efforts to solve the binary portability problem.
