I wonder if the interpreter could create a mount namespace and mount virtual filesystems backed by the SQLite database itself, so you wouldn’t need source changes to self-contain (ha!) file accesses.

Between this and actually portable executable I'm not convinced someone hasn't made a PNG thats a spreadsheet, or an audio file the somehow renders DOOM across the room. HN amazes me with the absolutely cursed ideas of implementing a minecraft in pure css (or showing whatever other nightmares one can do with CSS). It shows the most incredible creativity in what one can do with the freedom of arranging bits however one wants. I'm in love with all these cursed projects and hope they never stop.
