This is super neat and a dream of mine! Did you happen to see this discussion I wrote up trying to do something exactly like this?

Pushing the Limits of Small Binary Creation

Hi all, quick story: It was at a hotel bar the other day that @asinghvi17 , @avik , @mortenpi , Professor Rebecca Killick, and I did an impromptu hackathon for about 5 hours to see what could be possible with the newly landed PR add --trim option for generating smaller binaries by JeffBezanson · Pull Request #55047 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub about making small binaries in Julia 1.12. Here’s a write-up of some of our findings and experimentation: juliac Is Really Great! The juliac compiler that…
