Not really easy to make a traditional application/program and distribute it stand-alone from Scratch.

I'd love to see a Lisp compiler w/ GUI toolkit which would just compile to a stand-alone .exe or .app or .apk or even .html file w/ matching JavaScript library.

I think distributing a stand-alone application is beyond most any beginner level needs. They want to share, sure; but with a much more limited audience.

Not that I wouldn't love the same, mind you. I think a lot of toolkits and compilers make the mistake of trying to be universally distributable. Regardless of how much effort that happens to be.
