Could you export the tool in a way that we don't have to zip new files into it? Instead we would have to gcc the whole thing once and be done with it. Disable Gatekeeper: sudo spctl --master-disable. Probably the ZIP needs to be saved in a certain format. The zip shouldn't need to be saved in any special format. That error doesn't seem like something that would indicate executable corruption.

OK I see we are going crazy, me too. Thanks jart. I have been thinking about portable web apps with embedded SQLite for some time.
I do not have the technical chops at C level to pull this off. I am really inspired by this project. I hope Redbean leads a way to distribute self-hosted apps in today's era of the cloud.

You have a real talent for distilling the complex into something simple. Thank you so much! This is all incredibly exciting. Just make sure you don't have another server running on I had syncthing running and kept getting some error whenever I tried to run redbean. The error didn't make much sense, but eventually I realised that this was the casue of the error. I'm really impressed how portable this is. The only improvement I can see is if it auto-opened your browser to That way it would be easy to distribute the binary and have people run your application and just interact with it through their browser.
No need to ship electron then! Let's say we are able to do this. Would we have any security concerns to be addressed? There is the possibility of other programs making HTTP requests so you shouldn't assume trust on any request automatically. What you can do is give the browser a cookie once when your app starts which you then check on every request.
Oh and listen on That way your app is not needlessly exposed to the network. How different would it be from opening a random site in your web browser? I think you could trivially issue a system call, you'd just have to use the corresponding command to open the default browser for each particular system. Linux: xdg-open , MacOs: open , Windows: start. I am floored. Not only is this just breathtaking sorcery, I also needed this exact thing for a project.

I'm just one woman. What Cosmopolitan does so far, it does really well. It was only as recently as a few days ago that I got mmap and malloc polyfilled on bare metal.
You can help me will that future into existence. TickleSteve 10 months ago root parent next [—]. Sorry, wasn't meant as a criticism, just as an explanation because people were assuming magic Taking on bare-metal is a significant job much greater than your original task and you may be better targeting something like buildroot instead, after all what is the Linux kernel but a hardware abstraction layer. So far bare metal has been a walk in the park.
I love the fact that PML4T lets me do things like move memory without copying it. I want to be able to have that power without schlepping in the entire Linux world. I believe it should be possible for programs to be able to boot on metal as just programs which are tiny and auditable. Especially considering everything runs on hypervisors these days, which are in some respects the true operating system.
Ring 0 is the new Ring 3. Who among you is willing to accept being pushed to the outer bounds of computing? Its not the difficulty, but the scale. Working on one bare metal system is relatively easy as long as you're willing to dive into drivers. Getting I2C drivers or maybe writing a drivers for tens of different types of flash devices is a different matter. Your project will quickly become overrun with drivers for literally tens of thousands of devices Look at the Linux source tree Good drivers are not trivial either.
Simple ones are of course. Basically, its a time-sink and it doesn't become useful for claiming "portability" until you're approaching the scale of something like Linux. You're confusing portability with requirements. I'm aware that a long tail exists. Linux is a big tent for that sort of thing. I think that's great. Linux is already doing a great job at that and I think Cosmopolitan is complementary. As someone who knows programming in higher level languages well but has no experience with low level, bare metal, how can I get started with this stuff you're working with?
I would love to be able to learn more about this. Maybe even contribute to your project : perhaps a good way to start would be to address some small tasks you might have laying around?! And I would love to encourage you to do so! If you're working for Cosmopolitan then I'll be working hard to support you.
There's a long history of depth to metal. Many people start off learning it by having fun with the old skool ibm pc boot process.

I'm sure the FP zealots will love it Can someone marry this with QuickJS and make a micro node competitor with a web server, 0 deps and no install?
Wonder how far something like that could go, could be really interesting for replacing bash for me with something easier to write like JS. This is so powerful that it can be used as a "weapon": it's the perfect lib for making malware. I think this is a compliment!
She started her career with a very successful spam tool. She was 14 at the time. I definitely was not coding when I was Can someone explain this to me like I'm an 8 year old? On most computer systems these days can select a set of files and folders and tell the computer to "Send to compressed file", the files that come out of that process usually end in ". However, this ZIP file has a superpower, it can display the contents on the web You can take this file, run it on a Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and it will work.
You don't need separate versions for each different system The web serving is clever, but the superpower that it can run on anything really took a huge amount of work, which the author built into a tool called "ape", and has shared with the world, so other people can use it, and help her make it better.
In the case of building a web app does this eliminate the need for a server? Can someone explain this to me like I'm a 31 year old? I've been programming since before you were born A single executable, that doubles as a valid ZIP file, that you can put a complete website into, also doubles as a valid executable on Windows, Mac, Linux.

I can't "just add to the zip" I definitely love the idea of this, and the APE in general, and it works as-is, but modification seems impossible to me Windows 10 Just downloaded and executed. No zip modification at all. That is so cool. EDIT: Runs on without modifying even with this message. EDIT: Cannot modify zip on windows.
With 7-zip "Operation is not supported. Everybody is hyped up here but can someone explain to me what are the implications for the future of programming? Will I be able to write apps in a single language and have then run truly native on any OS or what else will we be able to do?
This is something like a "fat binary" with some magic in the header that allows it to run out of the box on Windows and several different UNIXes, a bit like those sneaky shell scripts that run on several platforms[0]. There have been other attempts to do this, but they never seem to get much traction.
I think it's because C programmers tend to get wedded to their OS of choice and then invest time in improving that platform's C libraries. The problem with trying to remain portable with everything is that you tend to be stuck working with the lowest common denominator functionality, which can be frustrating when doing OS-specific stuff would open up so many more options. All that said, the cleverness of this project is inspirational in a way that might encourage other programmers to also focus more on building against simple functionality that is truly portable.
It shows that you don't need all the bells and whistles to build cool stuff. That feels aligned with early UNIX philosophy and more broadly the hacker ethic, which is why it's neat to see, even if never gets adopted as a mainstream thing.
Appreciate the response. So it's a bigger win for C devs specifically. I am a C dev so I am trying to understand what opportunities this project unlocks. Why you have pigeonholed yourself? You can compile C to x86 machine code - this project has less to do with C and more to do with PE format and syscall tables. It means that it's language agnostic but not standard library agnostic.
Completely agree. The program is written in C -- you aren't! Nice job, Justine. This level of excitement reminds me of the early days of Linux. I think it has the potential to go far. The dream of that simple elegant power is something I'm hoping to restore for a new generation. All I'm doing to achieve that is simply standing on the shoulders of the giants who came before me.

Did the cosmo stuff come out of this or something else? Learned this in X level school, found out about Y, read about Y, learned this, got this job doing this, learned this from Z, got experience of AA Of course, assuming this exists, and you exist.
And blogs "exist". I couldn't even believe that it was possible until I actually did it. It cost me my job but I couldn't be happier with the result. This project is going to make problems disappear for so many developers.
It's the sort of tool people can get excited about. I'm so happy that my prior career success and top-notch training have granted me the privilege of bringing something this cool to the world. In all seriousness: whether it's exciting or not, this is something that should be getting federal funding. It really shouldn't be difficult for large, government-backed organizations to justify their interest.
I don't have a lead for you otherwise, I'd have invoked it by now to work on my own project[1], which has something in common through the use of polyglot files to achieve a similar effect[2], while mostly otherwise taking a different approach , but since you have a high profile, casting a wide net to attract the attention of someone able to secure the funding is something to consider.
Have you considered trying to make system calls inline to avoid the call overhead? Or already thought about it? So the 8 cycle cost of having a normal read function wrapper is the wrong thing to be focusing on. Cosmopolitan aims to address the performance cost of SYSCALL by making it possible to run your binary on bare metal, where your program becomes a kernel, and therefore needn't pay any context switching costs at all.
And it's even more overhead when exiting a VM, then? With the addition of a few manifest files and other crufty things embedded in the zip, I bet you could add Android and iOS to the list of supported platforms too. I've recently succeeded in building working. I looked into building SBCL using chibicc last weekend in the hope that one could build a truly portable lisp runtime using the ape toolchain Yes, yes, I know you couldn't possibly pick two more different approaches to software portability.
Looking forward to future developments! I have good news for you. Right now it's unlikely to get merged back upstream because Rui is still focusing on using Chibicc for his book, and that requires being more conservative about feature inclusion right now.
I would highly recommend using chibicc.
