Deploying web apps as self-contained binaries reminds me of Go [1]. Except in Go you get this for free as a simple (and swift) compile step.
Of course, this is true of any compiled language that can produce self-contained binaries, but Go has the added benefit of being well adapted to web app development.

- mbreese 14y agoThis isn't the same as a self-contained binary. This is packaging up your application, all associated files (javascript, css, etc) and virtualenv setup into a .deb (or .rpm). Then the package can be added to a local repository and installed like any other program. Even with Go, you'd have to package up your single binary in order to get the same experience. (Although, that package would be pretty small!)
