I am working for a company and I was hoping to significantly speed up my development time by switching from c++ to Julia. The thing is that the final project will be distributed to end users and I can’t expect they all have Julia installed.

I will still use it for experiments and rapid prototyping since I really love the syntax, it has so many neat solutions to things I was sighing about when using other languages. Nested multiline comments, nested for-loops from which I can escape all the way, Greek variables, a cross for cross product, a dot for dot product… so many little things are so awesome…

But I really need the binary thing for this to become my goto language.
