To make Julia compelling as library code, it would have to be statically compiled. Having a massive laggy Julia runtime embedded in a library seem like a complete no-starter to me. I'm convinced Julia will eventually be able to be compiled statically, but doing that will likely make it feel decidedly un-Julia like (e.g. no dynamic dispatch, no type inference failure), to the point where a library maker would probably just want to use an actual static language instead.
