incredibly important suggestion: replace "utterly" with "otterly"

This was an unplanned feature I worked on mostly a month ago on a Saturday for fun. Happy to answer any questions
To get it out the door, ended up adding some patches to TinyCC to support .framework on macOS and fix a few things with dlopen and include paths. Also added support for parsing the deprecated attribute used in lots of Darwin headers. C parsers seem a lot simpler than JavaScript which is nice
Awesome work on this, it looks like a game changer!
From my (admittedly limited) knowledge on this space, it seems like this is a straight upgrade over WASM, with the only limiting factor being that your stack is limited to Bun + C. Are there any downsides of this feature when compared with the alternatives mentioned at the start of the article? There are some tradeoffs listed at the bottom but I'm not sure how napi/WASM perform in those aspects either.

It's not silent. It will panic.
but that'll be at runtime
Looks compelling, but the docs are extremely vague and full of fluff. The "Why One Binary" is hilariously bad. Almost feels like content to impress managers/recruiters.

Starting off with "In the realm of..." instantly gave it away

"Lovable" derives from the hipster-developer trend that started around 2010, where endless web, CSS, or app frameworks were tagged "Made with love in <cityname>", or "Made with love by <author>".
So silly. Like, was the gcc toolchain made with cold indifference? Were linux and git made with Scandinavian longing? Was emacs made with a certain sense of ennui?
This is hilarious, I'm changing all my websites to have "Made with cold indifference by $NAME" in the footer now
Why wouldn’t you use a standard container based approach like Docker?
The last time I tried, it was pretty slow to fire up, especially when I tried to run multiple submissions at once. It's also even more overkill for my use case; I currently use isolate (https://github.com/ioi/isolate) which is just a wrapper around cgroups/namespaces, and it's been a lot faster.
Sidenote: I'm not really looking to replace it, I was just asking out of curiosity since this is my first time hearing of unikernels
