What java does is using jar[0]( ear, and war[1]) to put together and
compress all the files into a single file.

Python has got similar functionaliy; its module import
statement("import") can import files inside zip files[2] in addition
to from plain text files.

I think that deployment can be made easier if there is a J Runtime Environment
(JRE, J is not Java). There are about 500 ijs files total 2MB under J system
directory. If all these script files could be combined into one or several
files, then it only need to deploy around 10 files (exe + dll + library )to a
folder \JRE.
