I'll put it this way: I'm just an idiot engineer, not a programmer really- but I've written some blazingly fast code in Julia that would have taken me way, way longer to write and resulted in way, way slower results in other languages I've played in.
I have to shoutout Chris Rackauckas for being a such badass, helpful person too. He'll probably be in this thread any minute because he's the best damn advocate for Julia there is. :-)
- nojonestownpls 3y agoNot so sure about that last part. He's definitely an incredible force in terms of coding, project management, stuff like that. The Julia package ecosystem wouldn't be half of what it is without him. But "best damn advocate" is probably the opposite of how I'd describe him in terms of interactions here (and generally with people outside the core Julia circle). He very often comes across as dismissive, overly defensive, and passive aggressive in comments here. All of that is dwarfed by his package contributions tbh, in terms of impact on Julia. But still, probably half of the negative perception about Julia community that people have, come from reading these interactions.
