The lack of AOT has been the main thing holding me back from adopting it for more general purpose computing. Now with AOT I can &quot;compile&quot; the code and get some reasonable expectation of performance and ease of deployment. I&#x27;m probably going to start using Julia and (hopefully) extending the web server packages. Basically it feels similar enough to JavaScript for web development but with more expressiveness, so I&#x27;m pretty excited by the prospect.<p>Now this turns up a terrible delima, do I try to use Julia or Rust for writing embedded controllers? Rust has macros and direct memory control, but the article mentions. :)<p>I also think the more of us that recommend Julia for general compute, the more likely it&#x27;ll get used that way.
