Answering your question in good faith, even though I am unsure it was asked that way-
I am not a Julia programmer, I mostly write in python, but I find their community welcoming and not condescending at all. I think it would have a positive impact on most people’s personality
The language is very interesting too but doesn’t yet have a google, apple or msft behind it so I would understand why lovers of it maybe overstep a little promoting to try to keep it alive
Personally I find the integration with cuda to be really well done and I could see it being easier than python for highly customized deep learning (custom kernels etc)
Your comment above seems kind of unnecessarily mean spirited to me - maybe I’m reading it wrong?
I was surprised - because I remember you responding to the “I made 500k with machine learning guy” and being really impressed with your willingness to try to teach the guy without shitting on him (I’m an ex algo/hft guy and think someone with your knowledge could have gone that route very easily)
- kolbe 7y agoIt is unjustifiably mean spirited to Julia programmers in general. I admit that it is an unfair characterization of everyone who programs in trendy languages. I just got irritated that he commented with pure snark to what looks like an amazing paper. And I find being witty and mean instead of blandly authoritarian is the best way to handle those people. Anyone who wants to learn, great. Anyone who wants a one-sentence snark, I'm not going to be as open to helping out.
