Julia will be able to generate c-compatible .so/.dlls in a not so distant future.

This sounds very interesting. Do you have any more information on this?
Currently the best you can do is to build a somewhat unwieldy relocatable “bundle” with PackageCompiler.jl [1], but there are apparently plans for actual static compilation using an approach more similar to that used in GPUCompiler.jl [2], and the latter approach should as far as I understand allow for the creation of proper .so/.dlls.
