Due to its high-level syntax and powerful interactive prompt, Julia is typically used as a computational front-end language. However there is growing interest in using Julia to develop statically-compiled libraries to be called from other languages (Python, C++, etc.). I will present recent and ongoing work happening in the Julia community to enable this use case, including building smaller binaries and static analysis tooling.
