Really interesting take, I've had the opposite experience. I've also seen very talented c++ devs screw things up in prod that rust doesn't even allow for. Really recommend taking i…

I was in the same boat once upon a time. I actually overhauled it all but spent the next six months trying to convince 80 yr olds who self taught themselves visual basic (version 3…

Just type it in yourself and discover the post is incorrect like the rest of us...

Ok good I'm not insane lol...

Whoever made this post um didn't type in lisp and rust into the search... They look inversely correlated with rust rising in the past few years over lisp...

Can't reply to you depth of discussion got too long I think. Yea they didn't get kicked out entirely not banned or anything but they became "persona non grata" over stuff in their …

I think you misunderstood me, all good. The diffeq/sciml landscape has been a WIP for half a decade with lots of pieces of it changing rapidly and regularly. But so has the rest of…

See my above comment for clarification

It's not a half hour package install. It's a half hour of loading everything back in to get to where you were because the runtime dropped sorry for the lack of clarity. But yea, it…

They forked them. Also this is not that person. And there's more instances of this than I think you realize.

I met a guy who got kicked away from the community because he had different political beliefs than a lot of the people there. Immediately after he got the boot he stopped contribut…

Check the version summaries. Think it was Julia 171 or something. There's lots of bugs like that that crop up every other release. Segfaults happen all the time with FFI. But yea O…

I appreciate your view but seeing as how most Julia projects work this way I sometimes wonder if it's just a problem with the language itself. Not trying to be a troll with impossi…

It's super easy to get ooms and seg. Faults in Julia. For a while there this past year you couldn't even Ctrl c to stop the Julia process. It's rough for real work imo. Fine for re…

Theyve been at it for half a decade or so. Ignoring compilation times they shuffle the code around so frequently it's only real use imo is for the authors to publish papers and sta…

Julia's syntax is it's greatest strength but also it's biggest weakness. Large Julia code bases without team standards are complete soup. For small to medium size projects it's all…

Yea but keep in mind anytime you get a bug your session goes away so you can end up eating hours from a day precompiling. Not worth it with heavy pkgs imo. Wish they had incrementa…

It's still rough. They've been at it for yrs and it's a perpetual bed of sand... A lot of machines will fail to install it because it's so resource intense to install... Promising …

It's a pretty weird critique, llvm is becoming ubiquitous for these tasks. Can rattle off probably a dozen programming languages using it and no one is grousing...

They kind of all are scams. It was how they got people's information preinternet. Usually the fine print will tell you they aren't even giving the car away. The only person I know …

Super good lay person summary. I like how this explains the underlying concepts more than the python specific stuff. Will recommend this to new comers.

My little brother is autistic and admits he's wrong all the time. The title of this is trash.

Definitely misleading given all the bloat and baggage adding Julia as a dependency to a project can have. It's the heaviest glue ever.

Why are you trying to optimize for performance if you don't have a goal in mind?
