I don't think that's important, but lots of people seem to want it. With some work you could do that with J too. There are two ways. One is to make a self-extracting executable that drops a couple of files and then runs them. The other is to link the j shared library statically into an executable that calls it (this gets a bit more complicated and needs some magic if you want to use the windowing system of j too).
