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?

julia> @time begin

       using Plots

       display(plot(rand(8)))

       end

  1.074321 seconds
On Julia 1.12 (currently at release candidate stage), <1mb hello world is possible with juliac (although juliac in 1.12 is still marked experimental)
