Can proteins be directly formed from DNA without the need of intermediary RNAs ?

I guess they take a longer path to ensure that the things are controlled and replication is accurate. But is it possible to implement these checks and processes directly in DNA to proteins?

There is no biological mechanism to read DNA directly into protein sequence. Ribosomes are the organelle that generate protein, and requires RNA as the template for making the protein. Ribosomes cannot use DNA as a template.
