Julia is what happens if you let amateurs develop a compiler. The few times I’ve tried it produced gigabytes worth of stuff super slowly. The majority of packages are half backed, the only way to discover any type error is to let the program run, which coupled with multi method dispatch and hellishly slow compile times for trivial amounts of code makes the whole experience super unpleasant. Modern C++ plus some python feels more pleasant to work with (lightning fast compiles).
