I don't think it's frowned upon to compile, many people want this capability as well. If you had a program that could be proven to use no dynamic dispatch it would probably be feasible to compile it as a static binary. But as long as you have a tiny bit of dynamic behavior, you need the Julia runtime so currently a binary will be very large, with lots of theoretically unnecessary libraries bundled into it. There are already efforts like GPUCompiler[1] that do fixed-type compilation, there will be more in this space in the future.
