I was a Haskell programmer in grad school, and Julia was how I learned “oh, some times the programmer does know better than the type system/compiler”. I think the way they approached multiple dispatch in the language (and the resulting allocations due to type instability) is really the original sin of the language, and I just don’t think it can be fixed, so I can’t help but feel any effort to improve Julia is a waste of time.
