And it can't produce native executables - last time I checked it just bundles Racket interpreter itself with the source code.

Racket (CS) produces machine code. Yes, it packs the runtime along but that's certainly not your 'vanilla' interpreter. For example, it compiles a parallel GC profiled to your app along too. That's pretty hardcore, IMO! In fact, Racket is very similar in spirit to the GraalVM.
