    Anything is possible, but what would be the point? Much of the power of Javascript comes from it's nature as an interpreted language. Commented May 28, 2010 at 6:35

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.
