Well, I am a new user and would like to use Julia, but as I [pointed out here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-create-standalone-applications-for-windows-with-a-ui-in-julia-1-11-or-1-12/127823/14) I need as result “complete” programs, meaning with a UI.  
I am an engineer and we serve other engineers with our sensors. And sensors need to be read out their data has to be analyzed in a scientific way. So Julia as a scientific programming language should be our choice. But I cannot deliver program code in form of a script to a customer. Human work time is in laboratories an expensive good, therefore a well-thought UI software is crucial. The more time people can save by using your software the more attractive your product becomes. Here I really see a big market for Julia. For Python you find everything you need but you need a lot of time to get it fast enough e.g. to do some neuronal net things on a barebone PC as they are meanwhile popular to save hardware costs.

So what I can say from my perspective, if there is a way to compile a Julia module under Windows to a DLL and then use this DLL for the GUI framework one needs or is used to, then Julia makes sense.

As a newbie, what is “juliac”? Could that solve my problem and if so, where can i find a step by step instruction on how to compile my Julia module to a DLL with it?
