I cannot think of any mainstream language that is AOT-compiled and create standalone executable for the three major platforms other than Rust and Go* (Zig is not stable yet), which are precisely the two languages that are used for most newer JS toolings. For Python you only have Rust, as you need C FFI. Maybe one day we will see more software in Nim, Crystal, and Janet, but they are far, far from mainstream.

What specific languages do you have in mind?

*and C and C++ but writing tools in them is like self-lobotomy.
