blink is a virtual machine that runs x86-64-linux programs on different operating systems and hardware architectures. It's designed to do the same thing as the qemu-x86_64 command, except that it is smaller, runs on any POSIX platform, runs 2x faster than qemu-x86_64 on some benchmarks, and is also faster at running ephemeral programs such as compilers.
