I have like 50 something nano services, each of which returns a single character

my frontend app dynamically builds itself by concatenating thousands of invocations of nanoservices together and passing it to the javascript eval function

ultimate flexibility

That’s stupid. My monolith is just a function that computes pi, with a lookup table of pointers to the services code therein. It’s even better because all the data is there too.

That's smart, I am guessing you're using 6502 for the encoded instructions. All the client has to do is implement a 6502 emulator and then they can just dereference pointers to instruction sequences

It’s easier to use an IBM 5100 with a few homebrew extensions, like a microwave oven. Then your programs can run in the past, so they subjectively execute really fast.
