I love your idea, 40% of which is because I had the same one. I think it is the next logical extension over using zip as the container (jar/ooxml/epub).

There is little reason that ELF needs to be so complex. My motivation was to bundle multiple wasm modules together along with data.

Don't pay too much attention to the inner-circle feedback. Some people subconsciously use the tone of reception to control you, especially peers/colleagues are prone to this. They see someone having a bright idea, and they genuinely don't like it just because it makes them feel small in comparison. The thing they do next - they try to extinguish the spark by creating an illusion of worthlessness in your mind. By doing so, they are getting rid of a potential competitor on their own way to success. According to psychology, they start feeling normal again by reducing you, this is a natural compensatory mechanism ingrained in human archetypes.

The key thing here is to be able to discern between real and manipulated input information. For this, gut feeling usually works best: it spots that whiny, attention-insisting, importance-seeking, fear-inducing tone of a manipulator, but oftentimes the higher-level nervous system of the brain suppresses that signal (e.g. "How can a well-educated and charismatic person feel a bit off and responsibility-lacking sometimes? It cannot be right, so it must be something with my interpretation of reality. I bet they have the best intentions.")

An even better approach may be not to search for feedback at all, unless it's shared naturally without any strings attached.

Curious what that feedback was, specifically?
