Yes, because it's all set for prime time in the next release.

"Julia features optional typing, multiple dispatch, and good performance, achieved using type inference and just-in-time (JIT) compilation (and optional ahead-of-time compilation), implemented using LLVM."

So it'll be updated when v1.9 comes out? Anyways, it's a somewhat interesting thing that Julia still gets 3rd even though it's measuring compilation time.

Tell us when it becomes achieved using ahead-of-time compilation (and optional just-in-time (JIT) compilation).
