I saw "Python" and was going to comment a completely stand-alone* executable would be simpler, and then I scrolled and holy moly, there are a lot of features there! It would be quite some work to redo it in another lang. *It already has no deps Great job there. A nice tool you've made.

I wonder if cosmopolitan libc[0] could be leveraged to create an actually portable executable™ without a rewrite, looks like someone has figured out compiling python 3.11.4 with it[1] [0] https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan [1] https://ahgamut.github.io/2021/07/13/ape-python/ https://ahgamut.github.io/2021/07/13/ape-python/

  I have a small/insane project of mine, I wrote a compiler for Python (strict and static subset only) to WebAssembly (bc-to-bc approach, 1:1 CPython compat due to walking internals), than I do wasm2c to sandbox it + pledge and compiling with cosmopolitan into a miniature standalone thing (fast as hell). Just because you have zero dependencies and it's a pure Python and properly typed, lemme try next weekend as PoC. No promises, but this message clicked in my heart
