The problem with Julia is that there is so much hype around it, likely because of the for-profit company behind Julia. I see a non-negligible number of false claims and false promises on Julia's performance on the web every now and then. and when people test it for real production code they get disappointed with it.
- cbkeller 5y agoI don't think that's particularly what's going on. I think it's more just that Julia has a relatively small but incredibly zealous group of users. If Julia solves your personal version of the two language problem, and especially if dispatch-oriented programming happens to be a good fit for the problems you solve and the way you like to program, you're probably going to think it's the best thing since sliced bread. If not, on the other hand, you may not think it's anything particularly special.

Can you cite one or more specific examples of this? I'd like to see what you mean. Edit: You seem to be a Fortran fan
