Congrats to all the students and good luck to all of them.<p>But this is personally so disappointing to see no work on PackageCompiler.jl. I think PackageCompiler.jl + some sort of core support for interfaces and traits checked at compile time is what Julia sorely needs. Right now there's just SOOO much boiler plate and resorting to a third party package to solve these problems in the language is starting to get to me. Coupled with the fact that if I want someone to use my code I need to get them to install Julia, configure their environment and run things in a very specific way and I'm looking for another language to put my weight behind.<p>Anyone else want to share insights about writing large applications and deploying it to users in Julia?
