Also comes with some, but relatively light trade-offs for what's gained, IMO. The worst of trade-offs, compile overheads, are mostly not intrinsic to Julia and are being reduced every release and by packagecompiler.jl.

Of course it's intrinsic to Julia. What do you mean? Julia is a JIT-compiled language, and so gets the curse of JIT-compilation: Compilation latency. That's unavoidable* * Okay, technically, someone could write an interpreter for Julia, or do streaming compilation, but I wouldn't hold my breath for this to actually happen.

  Julia already has an interpreter, and the core team has plans for tiered compilation. Also the JIT compile time can be minimized to the point where it's a very minor thing. There's also smarter and slimmer static compile, which is also planned.
