I can’t agree more. But another obstacle for this goal is that Julia runtime takes over all signal handlings (though I guess this is not what compiler does so I guess this is a bit off topic). It especially is problematic for SIGINT handler since you can’t respond to ctrl-c in your program as soon as you initialize Julia runtime. It would be nice to have an API to initialize Julia runtime without taking over all signal handlings, or at least not SIGINT (something like CPython’s Py_InitializeEx(0)).
