Thanks for all the kind words – it's nice to hear such positive feedback. There has actually been a fair amount of work on static compilation recently – see this branch <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commits/jb/staticcompile> for Jeff's current progress. That said, this is still undocumented, experimental and not quite complete. But there's significant chance that it will get done in the near future. Unfortunately, it's hard to say exactly when, so that may not help – what's the timeframe for your project?
