Hi! I’m loving Julia and I have built optimization algorithms with it that are blazingly fast (runtime and development!) and I don’t see any reason to port them into C/C++ or similar for speed-up reasons. What I would need in the future is the static compilation of Julia programs. I read somewhere …

Yeah, I really would like to hear an update as well. I think one major power of Julia may be it “replacing C” as a productive language to produce efficient binaries which other languages may use (think of people in R/Python using standard bindings to Julia libraries).

I have been testing out the capabilities described in the blog post and most of it them broke since the post. I have been filing issues to get them fixed, but its slow going. You can see the progression here: #18080 #20168 #10 The fact that they broke and no one noticed suggests there are not …

Thanks @JaredCrean2 for taking the initiative for tracking down where the issues are! I don’t think it will be widely tested until someone puts a “simple interface” on it. Like a more indepth version of this package: https://github.com/dhoegh/BuildExecutable.jl (I’m definitely following this (fro…

I am already a convinced user, but what is lacking for me to completely switch to Julia (and convince the company I am working for) is a clear roadmap when static compilation will be continuously available as a built-in feature. I would be glad to hear about any progress in this direction.

I have made little progress on the issues linked above. The developers have made it pretty clear that this feature is a low priority, so I wouldn’t expect to see progress in the near future.

Julia is a dynamic language, so completely static compilation is unlikely to ever be possible in general (i.e. for completely arbitrary Julia programs). Some runtime compilation will often be needed. However, if you just want to call Julia code as a library, e.g. from C, that is already possible a…

I’m a little confused that in order to switch from Matlab and Python – both dynamic languages without static compilation – it’s a requirement to have static compilation. What exactly is the requirement? Is it about type checking, code generation, or bundling of dependencies? These are all pretty ind…

I think that the ability to compile to wasm will be just as important in the long run (see discussion here).
