Cannot upvote this enough. I'm sure a frequent Java user will come along to tell me how easy it is - but at this point I'm not interested in delving into their world. If a new application I'm looking at is a single binary I can drop on my system (a la Go/Rust) then great - otherwise it has to be something I really need for me to not just resort to "whatever is in the package manager, or find a different solution".
