Julia compiles the script every time?

Question

Julia language compiles the script every time, can\'t we compile binaries with julia instead? I tried a small helloworld script with println function it took like 2,3 second

Answer 1

At the moment Julia JIT compiles its entire standard library on startup. We are aware of the situation and are currently working on caching the LLVM JIT output to remedy the situation, but until then, there's no way around it (except for using the REPL).
