Author here. When I first discovered the idea for Actually Portable Executable I thought I was going mad like Terry Davis. I couldn't even believe that it was possible until I actually did it. It cost me my job but I couldn't be happier with the result. This project is going to make problems disappear for so many developers. It's the sort of tool people can get excited about. I'm so happy that my prior career success and top-notch training have granted me the privilege of bringing something this cool to the world. Enjoy!
In all seriousness: whether it's exciting or not, this is something that should be getting federal funding. It really shouldn't be difficult for large, government-backed organizations to justify their interest. I don't have a lead for you (otherwise, I'd have invoked it by now to work on my own project[1], which has something in common through the use of polyglot files to achieve a similar effect[2], while mostly otherwise taking a different approach), but since you have a high profile, casting a wide net to attract the attention of someone able to secure the funding is something to consider.
