Nice video, but, what you're talking about? You started by explaining difference between text and binary file, gone through binary itself, started explaining what C and stack is, then what c++ does differently, and ended with "yeah, .exe is just instructions how to set up environment for program and executive program itself". I'm creating software myself and I understand video, but I thing casual user will not understand what's going on.

I haven't dealt with EXE files since I ran Windows
On Linux, any file can be executable if you set it as such in the permissions.
File extensions for me are used for compatibility with other systems, they aren't needed.

“Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?”

“How tough am I? I wrote a Pokémon game!”

“Yeah, so?”

“In ASSEMBLY!”

“Oh, go right ahead in!”

Thank you! As a librarian who helps patrons with computers every day. This information is very helpful to me.

Q: What is an EXE file?

A1: Something that Windows needs, but Linux doesn't, b/c GNU/Linux doesn't care about file extensions (Well, the system doesn't, at least. But, ofc, higher-level configs can use them).

A2: Something that's hella big from the start, b/c you decided to compile a Lisp program with SBCL and didn't use a tree-shaking algorithm -- holy shit, like 54MB for Hello World, not even joking; Lisp includes the entire environment, *_including the compiler_* . (Basically, it static links *_EVERYTHING_* )

WOW!! A blast from the past. I started my programming career on a Honeywell 6000 mainframe computer writing code on a card punch machine. :) Started in assembly langue then moved onto COBOL and then to FORTRAN.

I used to think exe files were virus because of sonic.exe
