Not a brand-new reason - more of a shared experience - but more often than not, I quickly made some simple scripts for my job, which couldn’t be easily shared to my fellow non-IT coworkers. This relates to tool distribution, but within an office.
PackageCompiler.jl can generate executables, but which ~200Mo at a bare mimimum, this is no an option when coding “many” small helper programs.
Other reason - in link with containers - is that this would open wide the world of microservices (I think it’s a keyword here, not mentioned above).
Thanks for opening this topic, btw
