Is it possible to create compiled executable with my program written in julia, that i could take and run on another machine that doesn’t have julia installed?

https://juliacomputing.com/blog/2016/02/09/static-julia.html This was the last I’d heard of progress being made on the subject. I assume Julia Computing is going to hide static compilation behind a paywall, if it’s ever finished.

i wasn’t closely following this. But then - although it sometimes looks like this - people in juliacomputing don’t have magical programming powers. This is open source, so anyone can work on it.

@viralbshah are the business assumptions in this thread accurate? @jeff.bezanson I thought julia can already precompile an LLVM image? and i also saw discussion of a more minimal post compile runtime. is this going to happen open source st some point? thanks

Yes, you can statically compile Julia. No, it’s not particularly easy at the moment. Yes, we’re planning to make it easier, but it’s not a simple task. There’s incremental improvements to make this easier going in all the time. Yes, the compiler improvements will be open source like always. You’re o…

That blog post is the best documentation currently available.

See discussion here. I suspect that not much development effort will be put towards the feature unless someone pays them to do it.
