It’s not so much about the number of keywords but about garbage collection, dynamic code generation, and other things requiring runtime support. For sufficiently restricted subsets of Julia it is already possible (but not very polished) to do static compilation to small binaries. See e.g. [Successful Static Compilation of Julia Code for use in Production](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/successful-static-compilation-of-julia-code-for-use-in-production/79318).
