Julia could be a great language for ML. It needs more mindshare and developer attention though

What's the current state of time to first plot and executable size? Last time it was several seconds to get a 200 MB hello world. I'm sure they are moving in the right direction the only questions is are they there yet?

with juliac.jl and --trim, hello world is now 1MB and compiles in a second.

more realistic examples of compiling a Julia package into .so: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1515852/contributions/6599313/a...
