The problem with this is when you introduce applications with arbitrary dependencies. If your language can spit out a binary which is truly statically compiled, like Go, a Makefile or simple shell script such as https://github.com/nathanleclaire/sfserver/blob/master/build... will do you just fine, but if your app is Ruby or Javascript, requires dynamic linking, etc. the task just got a lot harder.

I'd love to see more research in the area.
