I agree. More work on latency, pre compilation and PackageCompiler is sorely needed. Julia is also behind on the version of LLVM that is being used, and apparently they are regressions in performance with newer versions. The fact that performance is an implementation detail is concerning, and it would be nice to standardize some of the language. However, I think it is unfair to compare the inclusion of log10 to the work required to get solutions to these harder problems. I guess why not both? ;)

> Julia is also behind on the version of LLVM that is being used, Julia 1.6 (LLVM 11) and Julia 1.7 (LLVM 12) use the LLVM versions that were current, when the release branch was cut. LLVM 13 was finalized a fes days ago and will be released this week. So I am not sure where the notion comes from that Julia is lagging behind.

> apparently they are regressions in performance with newer versions There are? I mean, with every new LLVM release a few things gets faster and a few things slower but I am not aware of any big changes in the recent LLVM releases. Do you have any more information about that?
