Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

Never heard of this, granted I've never looked for something like it either. Sounds very interesting and seems mature albeit with a few platform specific catch's in the readme.

Anyone use this before? Thinking about checking it out for fun. I don't really have use for it myself but I am interested in the implementation.
