I hate Julia. It is not about the language but rather about the community surrounding it. Take for examples this post. I have nothing against the author, but everyone using Julia pretends they have leveled the playing field. That they need more than C but don't want to waste their with Assembly because they are too superior. It is a bit like the Arch community, where superiority is claimed and all alternatives are dumbed down because they are not on the cool table.
Out of principle I don't engage with products like these because you either become part of them or will never get truly involved.
- phren0logy 12y agoIf you generally "engage with products" then I'm not sure Julia is for you.
- grayclhn 12y agoI've had the opposite experience. The mailing lists are friendly and, to the extent that I've seen people involved with the project claim superiority, it's in the very narrow context of scientific computing. (I mean, it's a super-early language project. Most of the people using it are people who _like_ new programming languages.)

- fsloth 12y agoJulia is a niche language... you comment is quite vitriolic just to point out that it's not in your niche.
