Re:Julia 1.6: what has changed since Julia 1.0? by eigenspace on Sunday February 14, 2021 @01:01PM (#26134485)
Doing this without the user having Julia installed would require using PackageCompiler.jl to make a standalone executable. https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/apps/

This is a pretty stable well established process now, but the binaries it produces are huge because they actually have the full Julia runtime in them.

Active work is happening on small binary static compilation. We already do it for GPUs, we just have to repurpose our GPU AOT compilation pipeline for the CPU. There are proofs of concept that currently work, but something more polished is feeling like it’ll probably be another year or so.
