I can't edit my comment (maybe I waited too long?) so I'll add more here...
My comment about not knowing if running redbean on bare metal was sarcasm was a comment about me, not about redbean or Justine, so no disrespect intended.
There's a lot of "turtles all the way down" today (a web server compiled to WASM so it runs in a browser running on a OS hosted in QEMU that's running on another host OS that's a virtual machine running in a linux container on top of a hypervisor running on an X86 simulator...) so I quite honestly couldn't tell if the idea of running redbean on bare metal was sarcasm or a joke.
But Justine says its true, so I guess it's not a joke. Consider me schooled.
I agree because the whole point of being able to run on metal is to have fewer turtles. How many vendors control the space between your code and your computer? Who controls your memory? I think those are questions worth asking. My goal is simply to help people get closer to the source.
