Will there be any executable edition? #440

I really like this project and it is really handy but I wonder if there could be any ".exe" release or "elf" for Linux. It would be really great for systems with low space and which wouldn't require node at all.

P.S. Flair this as Discussion

You need node installed to run pkg binaries. I tried it. Doesn't work.

Pkg seems to support it:

"Now you can use your output executable app.exe as a standalone compiler that does not require Node or NPM anymore."
