Runtimes Files, any alternatives

I saw the post about delphi 5, and well like that post i dont like the runtime files associated with vb and was wondering what other lanuage doesn't use runtime files. I think c++ has a MFC file or something like that... is there a lanuage which doesn't have spcific runtime files. I'd just like to make an standalone exe.

I know java, eiffle, vb obviously. Which is the best lanuage for my interest?

Vicual C++ does have a runtime file, but there is an option to have it included in the exe, so it doesn't need to be put on a computer for your app to run.
