SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
Technically speaking, this is bollocks. You can compile javascript to machine code for Windows, Mac, and Linux if you so choose, there is even a compiler for arduino, which quite obviously does not and cannot run a javascript interpreter. The point is that, in our modern world, there is no such thing as a scripting language. Virtually any language can be compiled to bytecode to run in the Java JVM, and many (even surprising ones like javascript) can be compiled AOT to native machine code.
