Unfortunately, Julia cannot be compiled to a library. At least not that I am aware of. What could be done is linking/loading the Julia runtime libraries. That is what the author of the linked article tried. Here he hit some road blocks due to how Julia and Go manipulate the stack - if I understood correctly. Since, the article is a few years old it might be something to try again. IPC is actually my fallback scenario. It would like to avoid it for performance (serialize/deserialize) reasons.Might be the easiest/fastest way to get things started though.
