For real.

It's hard to grok cause there are no words to describe it.

When people say that something is cross-platform, they usually mean a) that the software will build on multiple platforms b) there is some sort of vm which runs the executable (jvm, beam, wasm)

This is the SAME binary. Running everywhere. Could be super-useful as an archival format for mission critical code. sqlite comes to mind.

Maybe it's late at night, but I'm struggling to find a suitable word for the project that is better than portable or cross-platform.

Literally, I can't find a better word than the project name - "actually portable executable."

@author - if you're reading this please set up something for a few bucks a month on your github sponsors. I don't think I have any use for the library, but this is so outrageous it deserves something more than imaginary internet points.
