'startup-time' vs. 'TTFP' are just semantics, but a crucial distinction. The focus on 'time-to-first-plot' is entrenched in the dominant workflow of the Julia community. If you want a broader range of adoption, the word choice matters. Having experienced a very similar dialogue in the Clojure community over startup time, and seen the new range of applications emerge as the issue was effectively addressed, I was startled by the very narrow and focussed acronym (TTFP) in the Julia community. I am happy that there is progress on the code caching front and will look to the link you shared. Thanks for elucidating this further!
