This is blogspam. One thing that did bother me: > Since the Julia-creators also wanted it to be easy to learn, Julia fully supports dynamical typing. But in contrast to Python, you can introduce static types if you like — in the way they are present in C or Fortran, for example. That's misleading. As Julia co-creator Stefan Karpinski puts it in this great Stack Overflow answer [1], > This is not the way Julia works – code with type annotations is still dynamic and has the same semantics as code without type annotations. > ... > For the most part in Julia, type inference is just an optimization – your code will work the same way with or without it – but with successful type inference, it will run a lot faster.
