A Julia package for creating custom system images, standalone 'app' executables, and relocatable C libraries from Julia code. It moves Julia's just-ahead-of-time compilation work up front to reduce startup latency and enable deployment on machines without Julia installed.
Use cases
- reduce Julia startup latency with a custom sysimage
- build a standalone executable from a Julia package
- distribute a Julia program to machines without Julia installed
- compile Julia code into a callable C shared library
- precompile plotting packages for faster interactive workflows
When to choose
- you need to ship a Julia program as a self-contained binary
- slow package load times hurt your local Julia workflow
- you want to expose Julia code to C callers via a shared library
When to avoid
- your Julia code already starts fast enough
- you need cross-architecture binaries from a single build
- you want incremental or interactive compilation rather than full sysimages
