Definitely exciting. Portability of binaries is such a problem these days with all the angst around ABI compatibility in the Linux kernel and the push for containerization (e.g. lots of distros going towards Snap/AppImage). Justine's work seems like it's working towards a research idea from Alan Kay about developing a kind of "Model T" library that provides a solid core for all computing [0]. I'm also kind of jealous. Like most of us I work on big systems with millions of lines of spaghetti code. I think that building very small, reliable tools like Justine's would be much more impactful work.
