Julia is much more like a static language than you might realize. In fact, within a fixed world-age, as far as julia's JIT is concerned, it is a static language. Our JIT also isn't like other JITs, we sometimes call it a "Just Ahead Of Time" compiler because it is built much more like a traditional compiler than a tracing JIT.

We have quite fantastic GPU compilation stuff too, and julia functions can be compiled to Nvidia, AMD, Intel, and Apple GPUs through their respective GPU compiler packages, and one can use KernelAbstractions.jl to write code that is GPU vendor agnostic and works on all of them.

We're also getting an (experimental) fully ahead-of-time compiler built into the language with v1.12 that spits out an executable or dylib.
