Is it possible to wrap and release sjulia and juliar as Julia apps?

22

You mean cargo install --path subset_julia_vm --features repl ?

Kind of.

I think it is possible to register it as a Julia package/app so we don’t need to install and compile it via Rust.

EDIT:

Like:

pkg> app add sjulia

Trying out the AOT compiler:

This is a tad faster than vectorized Python and R but still slower than Julia.

@terasakisatoshi note that my example script did not transpile to Rust correctly so I had to manually edit the emitted output.rs file.

Main issues with the code:

  • It ignored the time macro (perhaps this on purpose?) so I added equivalent code manually
  • It emitted an empty pub fn main() so I had to manually add loops and calls to test()

Also, should rand be added to cargo.toml? I added --extern rand to the build command as a workaround to get random numbers working.

But aside from these issues, pretty amazing to see things working.
