Except you can bake apps into a single stand-alone binary executable for both Node.JS[1] and Python[2]

Can’t you just shebang a python script to make it feel like a normal executable?

Sure but you can't shebang all of the deps... Unless your `normal executable` embeds a Python dependency-manager.

    #!/usr/bin/fades

You can do it with Node as well, this works: #!/usr/bin/env node

But similarly to with Python, it still requires you have the runtime installed along with any packages your thing depends on

If you zip a Python package with a __main__.py, it’s executable by the interpreter.
