In clojure/lein[1][2] it's simple enough though not really equivalent to a real executable: lein uberjar That'll create a standalone jar. But, of course, the computer will need some sort of JRE. This definitely reminds me of creating executables in python. Even though python really isn't a lisp it has seemingly crazy, difficult and under-developed and underutilized ways to create executables.. somewhat surprising considering how popular it is today[3].
