how about luart myapp.rt

ruby

hi, zip file is a popular format

android .apk is a .zip file
java app .jar is a .zip file
office .docx is a .zip file
love2d .love is a .zip file

maybe we can make a zip file with .rt extension, with mainLuaRTStartup.lua in root,

then instead of rtc we can run it like this:
luart myapp.rt

This implies that end users will need to install LuaRT before running such apps...
LuaRT is pretty small and can be used easily as a standalone executable, that's one of its main advantage (contrary to love2D, python, and so on...)
