Just one big black box binary. Security people should lose their minds … or their accreditation.

Honestly for the best lol. Jokes aside, I don’t see why this would exclude those languages. Just because they need a runtime doesn’t mean the runtime can’t be bundled (even if it is annoying to do so). I would imagine for runtime-dependent tools, they would just make a generic runtime bundle that can be shared between packages, similarly to how it’s done with flatpak. I think “tools [bundling] all their dependencies” is more likely to mean that you need to ensure that third-party libraries your tool depend on are bundled, which is good. End users, even if they’re developers, shouldn’t need to hunt those down just to use something.

It’s pretty easy to bundle a minimal Java runtime for a modular application with jlink
