> Also this is the first time I saw examples of Julia code and the syntax looks worse than C++. That's surely an exaggeration, but just for context, most Julia code isn't nearly this macro-heavy. The first half of the final code showcase is all macros and expression manipulation, and those always look a bit weird. Usually, those comprise less than 10% of your code though; and if you're a regular user and not a package author, probably much less than that.
