JXCore, a fork of Node.js, garnered attention for the intriguing way it boosts Node performance by adding a novel multithreading mechanism. Now the project has a new trick up its sleeve in its latest beta release: the ability to compile a stand-alone executable out of a Node.js project.
JXCore 2.30 can package Node.js applications, along with all their dependent modules, into a single deliverable that has no external dependencies. A non-Node user can take the resulting binary and run it without having to install anything else.
