I know for me the documentation and general process of using PackageCompiler.jl is a little daunting for me in a way that other parts of the ecosystem and docs haven’t been.
I was just trying to do a quick test app the other day to see if I could build a Hello World app, and (this may have been my fault) but I hit the threshold of cognitive overhead before deciding to revisit later. This isn’t a criticism so much as a recognition that compiling binaries may take a bit more care / attention / learning in Julia than something like Go, Rust, or even Racket.
As for binary sizes, for some serverless deployments smaller binaries can open up a little easier path.
I’ll try and take another run at PackageCompiler and give it a more fair shake. If in that process I find anything constructive to report or submit documentation PRs, I will do so.
Thank you for your work on Julia. Julia was on my radar a few years ago and then dropped off again. I’m excited to see where it has come in that time.
