That's a rather unique definition of 'standalone'.

Is it? As opposed to something that requires a seperate program to run any
of it. That java p-code isn't going to do much without a jvm to translate it
into x86 or ARM etc whereas a compiled binary will - after required libraries
are loaded with it - just run directly on the CPU.
