@ng-0 When you make a release on GitHub, GitHub automatically makes a tarball for the source as of the tag.

Something that the Julia language does that might be useful here is that we download and compile all dependencies ourselves as part of the build. That way we have full...

Julia isn't statically compiled but we do distribute Julia with its dependencies compiled as shared libraries. This allows user code to call into them dynamically, which is a similar situation...

It seems most people don't particularly like git submodules, but this to me seems like a good use case for them: libtommath and concurrencykit could be submodules pinned to their...

Note that you can also use the more accurate `sum_kbn` from [KahanSummation](https://github.com/JuliaMath/KahanSummation.jl), which used to be in Base. It's uniformly slower than `sum` (by a pretty significant amount) but has...

I don't have strong feelings one way or another about this change but I've played around with it a little and I noticed something kind of odd: ```julia julia> _...

Tbh this is sounding like a lot of confusion and complexity for something that will save people a total of 3 characters (`x->`).
