title: Is there a way to write a program in JS and compile it as *.exe file?
body: <p>I want to create a simple program running on Windows that fetches some information from the Internet and displays it to a user in a dialogue window or something like this. I have some knowledge of JS. Is it even possible to do this without having to learn another programming language? If not, what technology I should look into? Visual Basic, C++ or something else? </p>
