I don't recall Danpuu's review including the negative view of the community. Maybe it'll need a re-read. Dan also ended with "I plan on using Julia in the future" conclusion. Anyhow, the community never seems standoffish or "dickish" to me. I've had good responses, despite disagreeing on a few PR requests. I would say there is still a bit of a quality control issue but it's still a young project. Hopefully the new funding and commercial support will help pay for better QC. Not many of the core team appear to have done much in the way of "plain old software development" so the community lacks a bit of learning from applying things in industry. Likely the ongoing experience with Julia and the various support contracts will shore that up quickly. :-) For example, there was a (defunct) startup Staffjoy doing schedule optimization using Julia and their write up was that little things like dropping literal Dict syntax was a huge pain for their test code [1].
