As expected, macOS Big Sur refuses to run the resulting executable: $ ./program.com -bash: ./program.com: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error $ sh ./program.com ./program.com: ./program.com: cannot execute binary file It's quite finicky in what it will accept ;)

On my Big Sur machine, `bash ./hello.com` works the first time, but then it overwrites itself(!) with a Mach-O, so further executions have to be `./hello.com`.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

not to mention people using screen readers...

This is a massive issue on Twitter when people use "vanity" display names as well.

It's the Cyclopean, non-Euclidean display names that really grind my gears.

People... Please stop using foreign alphabets like that! It's a nightmare for those of us who know the alphabets. It took me a good 20 seconds to read the title. And it's magnitudes worse when someone uses cyrillic for instance and it's native to me.

Agreed. It’s not even a particularly good example of the style, given υ could have been used instead of μ, ο instead of δ.

And use lambda and pi.

Yup, that matches my experience running the example (I also had to put it in $PATH for the command -v in the header to work). I built program.com myself and it seems to be missing the DOS header for some reason, so it just doesn't execute at all…I'd file a bug, but I have no idea if she is interested in supporting it or if I can provide any useful information besides "it doesn't work".

"actmally rdrtable execmtable" that's more or less how it reads to someone who knows the Greek alphabet :-D (I might be partially wrong because I've studied Greek many years ago and my memory is not good)

Not to mention it is terrible for searching.
