I am pretty incredulous at this counting as "forcing you to use a REPL". It is a couple of extra characters compared to what pip, nvm, cargo do, and you can just make your own shell alias for it. And I am not even mentioning the significant advantages it has over pip, especially for binary dependencies.

Also, with Julia being so different from everything else does mean everyone has to learn a new way of doing things. This isn't a bad thing, I like that Julia has a programmatic API for most of these things, but the UX is definitely not amazing.
