This is a cool feature, but the author doesn't do himself any favors with his style of writing that greatly overestimates the importance of his own feature in the great scheme of things. Remarks like "an extension that should’ve existed 40-50 years ago" make me think, if we should've really bothered all compiler vendors with implementing this 40-50 years ago. After all, you can already a) directly put your binary data in the source file like shown after the preprocessor step and b) read a file at runtime. I'm not saying this isn't useful, but it's a rather niché performance improvement than a core language feature.
