i never needed the ability to create a self-contained binary for myself, but when it comes to distributing software to other people it makes a big difference. it was always an issue with languages like python, ruby or pike for example. so i am very happy to see a high level language get that potential. besides go only common lisp has that ability that i am aware of. others are either to low level (rust/c/c++) or to obscure. not even java does it, although java is common enough that it still keeps distribution easy enough. to me this means now is a good time to start using red because now i can be sure that i'll be able to build tools that can be shared easily so i won't just be limited to create toys for myself. 64bit is the next big thing on the roadmap. so no need to worry about that. it will happen. |

Julia can do it.
