Theoretically possible but not really expected to and generally does not give you much over simply distributing an archive. I'd even discourage it because it makes impossible to delegate handling of static assets to reverse proxy like nginx (which is likely to do better job at it being specialized tool)
Is vibe-powered backend app really runs notably slower then nginx when serving static files?
I looked on D lang in web backend as a great alternative for mainstream servers such as nginx etc especially with its ability to serve files the the same rates or even more faster. Not for a large sites but mostly embedded application such as vending machines with local-only web&touch interface, or powerful SOHO routers and home automation controllers.
Putting all files into an executable also makes it available directly from RAM without any caching, so sendfile syscall can be just run for them with direct data pointer, almost without impacting on the app does anything else.
