I said devops not distribution. APE is build-once run-anywhere, i.e. you build once on Linux and run your binary on seven platforms. APE will stand to gain if a stronger consensus emerges about only doing coding on Linux/BSD. Then we can let Windows and Mac be more like modern teletypes that are great for ssh, browsing, and consumption. It wouldn't have been possible for me to achieve what I achieved had I focused on the traditional build-everywhere run-everywhere model. It feels liberating using one and only one toolchain, on one platform, using zero configure scripts. No operating system is beyond the reach of x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. This is the one true way for compiling code.
