Interesting project! It's just a matter of time before we'll have a universal executable/binary translator that can run any program from any OS. These are artificial constructs when you think about it. | ||

> It's just a matter of time before we'll have a universal executable/binary translator that can run any program from any OS People have been working on these layers for a long time. It's understood that programs are almost always fundamentally portable and only unable to run due to peculiarities. Smoothing over those differences in format, whether they be at the machine code layer, API layer, whatever, is doable but difficult. Props to qemu, Wine, DXVK, etc. | ||
