Is it possible or is it even planned to be able to create native standalone

+1 for standalone executables.
I really hope it is still being discussed by the developers. I did see a
mailing-list post a while back about that topic, so it definitively has
come up before.
I do think Julia has the unique potential of being a prototype- as well
as production language (in the ML field). It would most certainly reduce
my need for Scala in industry projects.
Then again, there are probably more pressing and interesting issues. I
have faith in the developers decisions.
(btw Go is a decent example of how to make cross-compiling fun)
