Compiling with @async

If I enter
t1 = @async begin; sleep(5); println("done1"); end
at the julia REPL, I get

  Task (runnable, started) @0x00007f575a6c3d00

    julia> done1

If I compile and run

function main()
  t1 = @async begin; sleep(5); println("done1"); end 
end

main()

Close

I get no error messages and output
startup from ~/.julia/config.startup.jl

Why can’t I get the same output as the REPL?

Because your program exits before the async task finishes. You need to wait for it to finish.
