Just wondering if there is a compiler like the one in turing that generates a standalone .exe?

most computers come with the java (as in java ProgName) interpreter and will be able to run compiled (javac) programs. Statically linking them together into an .exe just seems very counter-productive (huge file, possibly slower load time, OS dependent, etc)

It is not along the same lines as the one in Turing, but if this truly interests you, check out GCJ.
