I really, really wanted to like Julia. The syntax looked perfect to me (coming from scheme), and somehow everything felt 'right'. That's when I discovered that compiling to binary seemed to be frowned upon. I found some documentation on how to do this back when 1.0 came out, but it looked unnecessarily complicated and 'third-party'. I'm guessing Julia really is for sci-comp and data scientists, and not for producing redistributable bins. Does anybody know if Julia will ever become more 'general purpose', like say Racket or Python? Thank you.
