It’s the more-or-less unreleased CLI compiler. You can read about it [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pushing-the-limits-of-small-binary-creation/120989) and [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-use-juliac-jl/123024).

As noted, it is a first step toward addressing your problem, but there remains work to be done.

As we discussed, you _can_ do this today with PackageCompiler; it just probably won’t be small. I would hazard to guess that, if you can get it working that way, the forthcoming compiler improvements will continue to make the process and results better.
