[julia-users] Julia deps question

[albapompeo]

 

Why is it that when building Julia, it wants to compile almost all 
dependencies itself?
I think users should either check dependencies and build them themselves or 
install them through package manager. Doesn't seem to me the job of Julia 
to do this.
I know that LLVM has some optimizations that are not yet upstreamed. But 
when they are upstreamed in the future, will Julia stop compiling LLVM 
then? What about all other deps?
