This article is painfully true. Julia is full of gems, but also features so many warts everywhere that I'm not sure whether it will be able to overcome the latter – I hope it will. I would add to the author's list the subtle differences between REPL and scripts, the weird obsession of Julia for embedding slightly different and out of date versions of its dependencies (BLAS, uv, LLVM, ...) that makes it a nightmare to package, the painfully slow documentation website, the sometimes surprising function names, and wholeheartedly agree on the failure that is functional programming handling, both in syntax and implementation – which is surprising for a language stemming from MIT.
