This sounds like something you can get with other languages which compile to native x86_64 or arm or whatever - specially the single executable concept is ages old and predates the entire internet. Why use js, which is slow?

This just don't make sense. People do scripting in sh, bash, python, etc all the time. Why not js?

There is always something that doesn't fit either the use case or the aesthetic sense.

For someone working with JS on the front end, the ability to not only use the same language, but also the same libraries/modules/functions is very valuable.

Not that slow, once a JS engine takes over.
