Hi! I would like to distribute my julia program. If I use https://github.com/dhoegh/BuildExecutable.jl or https://github.com/JuliaComputing/static-julia or https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl it clutters the build folder with dll files, most of them unnecessary, judging by name. Does i…

I would not expect this to be a priority before v1.0 at all, no.

But will it be at some point? Do people still want this? The thing is, I fell in love with the Julia syntax so much that I can’t go back to c++ now :stuck_out_tongue: So I am currently trying to include many of Julia’s concepts into c++: https://github.com/mqnc/fiascode I’d immediately stop with…

It’s definitely something that many people want, but as @pkofod said, the people who would work on this are very actively working on Julia 1.0, especially getting compile times down, so don’t expect much progress until post 1.0.

Now that Julia 1.1 is out, will this issue receive attention again? :slight_smile:

I concur with mircode on all points having got to know Julia, there is no looking back ! the ability to compile [some subset of Julia] is important in a variety of settings: distributing standalone’s (preferably lean), hiding the source code (an unpalatable thing to say to people that have worked…

@mircode is right. I was quite surprised by the size of the resulting “distributable” compiled binaries. Considering the output size, PackageCompiler.jl looks more like a proof of concept. Would be fantastic to compile Julia code in standalone dll’s of decent sizes. That would give a certain edge ov…

There’s already a PR to Julia for this functionality: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/32273 As always, if each person asking for a feature rolled up their sleeves and helped implement that feature, we’d already have it :smile:

Trust me, @jpsamaroo , if I helped write that functionality, we’d be in an even worse position. Lol

Please see Compiler work priorities. This would fall under point 4 (PackageCompiler). So it’s on the radar but not top of the list currently.
