> But I wish there were a language that solved the two-languages problem (fast vs. easy to work with). That is the motivation and purpose of Julia. For some people's workflows it already seems to have solved the problem, but in general the "easy to work with" part is still in progress IMO. Some of it is the (in)famously annoying compilation delays, but a large part of it is just a tooling and ecosystem thing (both of those sides of the issue are being actively worked on). The difference from C/C++/other low level languages is that it's not the language itself that's difficult to work with, it's the current tools and workflows that are suboptimal. The language is pretty well-designed and fun to work with, so there's hope that it can actually solve the two-language problem for a wider variety of devs and their needs.
