Julia has multi-stage compilation: first it's lowered to the AST (all macros are resolved), then it is lowered to an IR, then types are solved, then it's lowered to an SSA form IR, then to LLVM IR and finally machine code [1] (and it's JIT will try to pre-compile as much code as it can, in some situations it might even compile the entire program in one go, which is the cause of the delay when starting the program). Everything that runs is always machine code as there is no interpreter or VM (though you might say that Julia's bytecode is the LLVM IR).
