I'm wondering about this part: "using this strategy Julia actually can produce static binaries like compiled C or Fortran code."

Is this something that works now, something planned, or just speculation?

It does work. It is not user friendly just yet, and compiler work needs to be done - but yes, you can get binaries and shared libraries today.

The blog posts highlights this as something planned. It does sort of work already, but not completely.
