Javascript in Machine Language

Question

Is it possible to convert javascript code to machine code or pure native binary?

Anything is possible, but what would be the point? Much of the power of Javascript comes from it's nature as an interpreted language. — Dean Harding

Not sure why anyone would want to do this, but there is an example here of how to generate a .NET executable file from JScript (not quite the same thing as JavaScript, I know):

There is also Script2EXE here, which can convert JavaScript to a Win32 executable:

Sure. Almost all modern JavaScript engines have a native code compiler. Google's V8 doesn't even have an interpreter, it only has a native code compiler.
