Julia has been making big strides recently on (pre-)compilation. Nice work Chris--beyond just these recent results, you've helped to create a community. I wonder how long it will be until we have a demonstrably stable static/aot compilation capability that a new user can employ without friction on Linux, Mac and Windows? No doubt it will be just as soon as it becomes a focus area. This is an area I'd love to see advanced soon and potentially help with, because I use Julia for my work.
