Packages added to a running VM appear in the shell straight away
Now that's just showing off.
Very cool.
Tangentially related... when I learned of https://rr-project.org/ I figured it would form the basis of some web UI to share reproducible bugs with a project maintainer that could be stepped through by the project maintainer.
What better way to demonstrate a bug than record the steps, and upload that as some closure that could be stepped through in a WebAssembly'd QEMU web browser by the maintainer.
Or a CI service could do something similar. "Test X failed. Click here to step through."
Perhaps that idea was lacking something like https://trynix.dev/ .
