The comment I replied to said: "Plus vendor compilers often outperform GCC and LLVM… on Cray systems especially".
I said "Can Julia take advantage of that?". So the "that" in my question was "vendor compilers [which] often outperform GCC and LLVM... on Cray systems especially".
It seems like the answer is, no, Julia cannot be compiled with those vendor compilers that often outperform LLVM.
But it seems that Julia nonetheless has been shown to perform well, just not specifically by using those vendor compilers that I was asking about.
