  I don't remember the details, and cannot find my notes on vercel/pkg. But looking at https://github.com/vercel/pkg right now I see the project has been deprecated in favour of single-executable-applications

  This part is the most exciting to me. Given the rest of the release announcement, I'm assuming this means that it'll be built in Rust rather than embed Node. While I'm not a Rust zealot of anything, I'm very partial to not embedding Node. Particularly when it depends on using Vercel's now-abandoned pkg[1] tool.`

  The npm package called "pkg" seems to be the standard for packaging NodeJS applications

  Nodejs support for "single executable applications" is getting there - this issue below is preventing wider adoption at the moment:

  "The single executable application feature currently only supports running a single embedded script using the CommonJS module system."

  Should be an awesome game changer for node.js when the feature gets rounded out.
