I think for that, you might want to look into https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl. This is essentially a just a clever utility for keeping a background julia session running that you feed scripts to, rather than spinning up a new session every time you launch a new script. This is a nice alternative to the AOT compilation offered by the likes of PackageCompiler.jl

I don't think this is a great reason to avoid julia. Why is latency a concern for you? Are you running a lot of short, one-off scripts? If so, an easy solution is to just keep a julia session running and re-use it for each each script rather than constantly starting up and closing julia sessions. DaemonMode.jl [1] is a package that was recently developed that makes this workflow effortless. Another option if you've got some production code that needs to be run over and over again is to create a custom sysimage with everything AOT compiler. PackageCompiler.jl [2] makes this workflow pretty easy nowadays. [1] https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl [2] https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl
