Personally, I think Julia is great - just don't know it well enough to write a package that takes Julia ASTs and generate C code from them :) There could totally be a Julia implementation of the main idea behind prometeo (Julia per se does not solve the problem that prometeo aims at solving).

You can just use `@code_llvm` to generate LLVM code, or `@code_native` to generate assembly. Does that do what you need?

hmm not sure, the compiled LLVM code would still depend on the runtime library?

The LLVM code will only call into the runtime for allocation or dynamic dispatch, both of which are avoidable. Lots of real Julia code will never touch it.
