I think the suggestion is to use native Linux binaries with static linking of any libraries and resources in the executable.

Java programs would need to be compiled as a standard ELF. I think GraalVM can do this.

Only some Java/Scala programs can be compiled as a single binary.

It's been a concept that has been around for years but not progressing to the point where it comes close to negating the need for the JVM in a Production environment.

In the meantime containers works today and is significantly more powerful and flexible.

The fallback scenario just embeds the interpreter inside of the binary. That still nets you a single binary, unless I'm missing something?
