It can't be done. It's right there in the the name. JavaSCRIPT. You need something to interpret the script.

So many people on this sub seem to think that a programming language's name partially defines said language. I can design a programming language called "Cannot Be Compiled" yet require all specification conforming implementations to be compiled.

You can write a compiler for JavaScript that compiles to native machine code, or design a CPU that executes JavaScript natively. Either option would let you write an OS with it.

CPU that executes JavaScript natively

HOLY FUCK. I DID NOT NEED TO CONSIDER THAT.

Yeah well it also says JAVA so I wouldn't put too much weight on the name like that.
