Julia's ahead-of-time compilation story is not great. If you just want a single executable, it's kind of a pain, and there are all sorts of caveats. I think it's slowly getting better, though, but the language really wasn't designed for that use case. If I needed run-time metaprogramming/JIT compilation/a REPL, I'd go for Julia. For a single executable, I'd choose Nim.
