JavaScript compiler emitting libc-free ELF64 without LLVM or VM—genuinely unusual approach.

Strengths

•Direct x86-64 codegen from JS without LLVM IR, VM, or JIT layers in between
•Filesystem-based IPC (FSABI) for concurrency instead of shared memory or threads
•Clear philosophy with fatal failure semantics—bugs stop jobs, no hidden recovery

Weaknesses

JavaScript compiler emitting native x86-64 without LLVM is genuinely clever.
