How is even Nim (!) and Zig (!!) included there but .NET with a major developer market share and that is now cross-platform and explicitly supports self-contained executables not even mentioned in the article?? If he strongly dislikes or can't use .NET as an option he should write that and explain why.

(with some limitations, but the .NET stuff with .NET dependencies including the entire .NET Runtime should at least be in there, and you can compile resources like icons or other assorted data embedded into the executable as well)
