Hey everyone,

Is it possible to create a custom system image with PackageCompiler.jl, for example only containing Plots additionally? What I saw is that you can create a custom image in VsCode of the whole environment, but this is too much for the beginning.

Thank you!  
Ilja

You should be able to create your own custom sysimage and just store it as `JuliaSysimage.dll` next to your `Project.toml` and the VS Code REPL should automatically pick it up.

Very good, I’ll try it and report. Edit: It works 🙂
