This is very much the bleeding edge - see this recent post:

This post records a successful experiment to statically compile a piece of Julia code into a small .so library on Linux, which is then loaded from Python and used in training of a deep learning model. TLDR Static compilation to a stand-alone library does work on Linux but has rather significant restrictions on the functionality available. It is mostly useful for core computational routines. Roughly speaking, if it could be implemented in plai…

There’s exciting progress on this front, but also a long way to go.
