This discussion made me realize that I have a head canon definition of "bare metal" that applies more to the programming environment than the deployment environment. It would exclude any runtime translation to the native instruction set, such as a VM, bytecode VM, language interpreter, etc. Basically identical in meaning to "static compilation", so I'll update my brain to the conventional meaning.
