Do you have numbers to back this up?

  See https://lh3.github.io/2020/05/17/fast-high-level-programming-languages https://lh3.github.io/2020/05/17/fast-high-level-programming... Also I should note that Julia performance greatly improved since. Next week there should be the 1.6.0 release, which will have even better numbers.

    > I don’t see Julia a good replacement of Python. Julia has a long startup time. When you use a large package like Bio.jl, Julia may take 30 seconds to compile the code, longer than the actual running time of your scripts. You may not feel it is fast in practice. Actually in my benchmark, Julia is not really as fast as other languages, either. Probably my Julia implementations here will get most slaps. I have seen quite a few you-are-holding-the-phone-wrong type of responses from Julia supporters. Also importantly, the Julia developers do not value backward compatibility. There may be a python2-to-3 like transition in several years if they still hold their views by then. I wouldn’t take the risk.

    I doubt that Julia 1.6.0 will be released next week. There were no rc (release candidates) not even an alpha or beta release.

      I probably messed up something, but I meant alpha, yes.

  It always depends on what applications you're looking for, but yes there's tons. https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/MultiLanguage/wrapper_packages.html https://benchmarks.sciml.ai/html/MultiLanguage/wrapper_packa... https://gist.github.com/ChrisRackauckas/cc6ac746e2dfd285c28e0584a2bfd320 https://gist.github.com/ChrisRackauckas/cc6ac746e2dfd285c28e... https://gist.github.com/ChrisRackauckas/4a4d526c15cc4170ce37da837bfc32c4 https://gist.github.com/ChrisRackauckas/4a4d526c15cc4170ce37... are the ones from the top of my head.
