TBF, implementing Redbean in C required 3000+ lines and several third party dependencies. Of course it's more full-featured than this Go "proof of concept", but still, I assume it would be much easier to implement Redbean in Go than in C - as you would expect from a much younger "batteries-included" language.

But then you have two files and a mount to deploy instead of a single file.

Ted was trying to do a redbean like jart did with APE.

Which is an awesome concept that also reeks of re-purposed early '00s malware distribution trick.

I think it's just an interesting technical challenge, not for practical purposes (other than sites that never update content maybe).

That’s not the same thing - with embed you have to recompile the server every time you change the page contents.
