Cosmopolitan Libc: build-once run-anywhere C libra...
"Run anywhere" appears several times in the page, but it seems to be a wild exaggeration, especially given the comparison to Java.

Considering that for Java it really means "run anywhere you have a JVM/JRE already installed", the marketing slogan is an exaggeration in both cases.

Indeed: as far as I understand it, Cosmopolitan works across different OS's (or even without OS), but
not
across different CPU architectures. Comparing that to Java is a gross exaggeration indeed.

What if you include an emulator in the executable? eg x86-64 on ARM. Then you could
slowly
run the x86 code on the pi for various values of "slow".
