But native code right.

When working on binaries the source languages obviously
does not matter. But for *nix/Windows there is a pretty
good chance that native code is C or C++.

I wonder how difficult it would be to get it running
on VMS x86-64. ELF image format and x86-64 instruction
set are already done. But I assume it would need to know
about various RTL.
