one big differnce is that compiled binaries start much faster. but on a modern computer we are talking milliseconds. you have to take all trade offs into account though, people complain that apps made in JS needs a runtime. and that dowloading that runtime is a waste of space, but they forget that a statically linked binary can also get rather big.
