A couple of others have also mentioned compiling and ML. Aren't there already many ML libraries for compiled languages out there or are you referring to something else? I would love to hear more about this.
I would be similarly interested for how compilation might be applied to distributed systems. Cheers.

If your program is a well-defined set of operations (basically matrix operations for ML), you can optimize the whole specific program instead of calling bunch of individually optimized functions from the library and target a specific hardware (e.g. given GPU). Check for example Chris Lattner’s interview [1] and presentations on MLIR, or proceedings of C4ML workshop [2]. Application in distributed systems: from the top of my head - protobufs, compilation of Erlang and Elixir to BEAM, dask.
