    Yes, that's when it started. Then we sent some people to Juliacon '23 to get a feel for the future. Julia is a fine language, just not for us given the reasons in the OP. We have b…

    Sorry, missed this as we're in meetings this week. So to answer your question. We use zeroMQ to move data around so to get it into a python script is very easy for us. We "were" go…
