It think that the discussions on HN tend to be quite combative, and members of the Julia community (including myself) can get a bit worked up over negative claims that we find overly sweeping. That could lead to some dismissiveness. I do get frustrated by characterizations of the interests of the Julia community that are very broad, and are also in evidence here. E.g. somewhere upthread one person claimed Julians are only interested in Jupyter Notebook workflows, which is a totally alien statement to me. Jupyter doesn't seem to have a very large mindshare as far as I can tell, I've never even tried it myself. Static compilation and analysis comes up regularly on Discourse, but among the scientist part of the community, there is naturally less emphasis on this. Please don't extrapolate too far based on some isolated interactions.
