if you're referring to rideshare and taxi drivers yes, these rates might rise. but it's the wealthy who are consuming these services. costs will obviously pass through to the rider (not be borne by driver)

yeah I don't think any freight is being moved by (checks article) passenger cars

the poors are already off the road! they use the train or bus, which is cheaper, faster, and more environmentally friendly if you are wealthy enough to afford a car in NYC then you are wealthy enough to pay this toll

I validate my C++ code by comparing against a Python implementation this is just a normal sanity check and is not a strike against Julia (or R)

what? that "equation" is just "supply / demand" as locations get more desirable, demand goes up.

fyi: the author of that post is a current Julia user and intended the post as counterpoint to their normally enthusiastic endorsements. so while it is a good intro to some of the shortfalls of the language, I'm not sure the author woul

I'm sure there are other subdomains that make use of Julia, but in particular I think if your problem involves writing an evolution-like or agent-based-model-like simulation you may find the strengths of Julia particularly compelling

scientific models and simulations can be and are made very successfully in julia. In particular the diffeq landscape is probably the languages largest comparative advantage

julia has already taken off for certain niches

very exciting to see big things built in Julia! I use it for hobby projects and would love to see the language develop to broader audiences

I have not yet fallen out of love with the language, but I can absolutely sympathize with the desire for better ways to define and enforce interfaces. In my opinion it is the #2 issue for me right behind having a non-kludgy import/modu

Polars definitely doesn't "easily" beat DF.jl on all tasks. Yes, I agree, on average polars is a bit faster for many of the simple workflows, but I certainly don't think that's unconditionally true. It's especi

I notice you coming into every single thread about Julia to criticize the language and the community. Do you have a vendetta or something?

> I am curious what are the fields where it is less well developed? Data engineering and cloud integration is a big one. It has very few tools in that domain, and I say this as a heavy Julia user (hobby).
