Memory usage of binaries from juliac compiler?

There has been a JuliaCon talk about generating small binaries with juliac:

This brings down the binary size, but does it bring down the startup RAM usage? It’s currently more than 200 MB on Linux.

Depends on what your code is like. It can generate binaries without the Julia runtime if your code doesn’t require it, which would make the problem entirely go away. But if you need the runtime, do you need BLAS? Etc.

Sorry it does not answer the question but where can juliac be found? I would like to try it. Thank you

juliac is work-in-progress and not released.

If you feel adventurous you can build this PR:
