Is Julia suitable today as a scripting language?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Julia

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • StaticTools.jl

    Enabling StaticCompiler.jl-based compilation of (some) Julia code to standalone native binaries by avoiding GC allocations and llvmcall-ing all the things!

  • It's not beta. I mean PackageCompiler.jl (used in production, by e.g. PumasAI company, a huge success) which makes though non-small binaries. Other tools for tiny binaries (and limited subset of Julia), are yes "experimental" but work: https://github.com/brenhinkeller/StaticTools.jl

  • BinaryBuilder.jl

    Binary Dependency Builder for Julia

  • There are some efforts and the startup times are getting better with every release and there's BinaryBuilder.jl.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • DaemonMode.jl

    Client-Daemon workflow to run faster scripts in Julia

  • You can get around a lot of these problems with DaemonMode.jl though.

  • PCRE2.jl

    Wrapper for PCRE2 libraries (8, 16, 32-bit)

  • See also: https://github.com/JuliaString/PCRE2.jl

  • julia

    The Julia Programming Language

  • Something like this: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/37979

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
