Yes, I have some publications, and am familiar with the process. I was attacking a theoretical review to make a point I wanted to make. The blog post doesn't say the reviewer recommended rejection on the basis of implementation in Julia, or that the editor's decision cited the language choice. My point was that if those things were true (which is not clear from the post), that would be bad. I make that point because in my experience, it's not uncommon for reviewers to take similarly unreasonable positions.
