Its gradually typed, and compiles down to typed code with LLVM on first run. So after a warmup (which can be cached) its effectively static for purposes of performance.

I was quoting the developers. I'll take their word for it. Whether something is compiled or not is orthogonal. I need strong static typing, preferably with algebraic data types. Julia doesn't provide any of that, Rust provides all of that.
