Hi Daniel, There were various dicussions in julia-dev and julia-users. Searching for "standalone" should give you some answers. In short: Its on the roadmap, it is definately feasible, there is even work beeing done in one of Jeffs branches, but my guess is that this will not land in the next year in an official release.
