Oh, my bad, the original link was: https://github.com/SimonDanisch/PackageCompiler.jl. Now I see that redirects to JuliaLang.

However, unless I'm missing something, that argument isn't that much stronger.

1. Is the package actually promoted and actively maintained by the Julia developers?

Or even better:

2. Is the package part of the default Julia installation?

And even:

3. Is the package documented on the Julia site, as part of an officially recommended process?

Yes.

>2. Is the package part of the default Julia installation?

No, mostly because it's not done yet and only experimental right now.

>3. Is the package documented on the Julia site, as part of an officially recommended process?

No, mostly because it's not done yet and only experimental right now.

In that case, sorry for the inaccurate statement.

However, go to my original comment and replace "third party" with "it's not done yet and only experimental right now" and the meaning stays the same... :)

Indeed, but it shows that it has moved up a notch and people are taking it more seriously now. The biggest issue is that all of the compiler guys have thus far been working on making breaking changes to the language. Once v1.0 is out (alpha is already tagged! Features are frozen!), then they will have some open hands :).

I guess my comment was a sign of Julia moving to the big leagues now. Expectations are high :)

Ah sorry, I didn't realise that the original link pointed somewhere else.
