Hello again,

first question every new programmer asks is if it is possible in the computer  
language to compile the program to a standalone .exe in Windows , or a executable  
file in Linux. (also a bundle option)

I have this question too.

Are there tools recommended for this ?

never tries it myself. also it says that in v0.7 a single binary (like with Go) can be created. So i am looking forward to it
