Wouldn't Julia be that language? Its fast, supports static typing, and is built from the ground up for machine learning/ data science. It also has a built in RE

  Julia is that language now. Previously I had sunk cost fallacy regarding Python, but now we are building a brand new application from scratch, and we chose Julia.

  Julia is nothing like Python though, and it has other flaws like 1-based indexing and huge delays loading packages as it compiles them.

    How is it nothing like Python? 1-based indexing is definitely not a flaw. And version 1.6 massively decreased package import and precompilation time.

        It really depends on what you do - sometimes offsets are better, sometimes an index is better. If you really want 0-based indexing, you can have it! https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl My own preference is random indexing, it's so much more exciting to be surprised https://www.juliabloggers.com/random-based-indexing-for-arrays/ https://www.juliabloggers.com/random-based-indexing-for-arra...
