Hmm, so this is essentially the appimage concept applied to web pages, namely:

- an executable header

- which then fuse mounts an embedded read-only heavily compressed filesystem

- whose contents are delivered when requested (the entire dwarf/squashfs isn't uncompressed at once)

- allowing you to pack as many of the dependencies as you wish to carry in your archive (so, just like an appimage, any dependency which isn't packed can be found "live"

- and doesn't require any additional, custom infrastructure to run/serve

Neat!
