Bet your code always works on your machine too ;)

For what it's worth this is literally how the Julia community deals with feedback.

Well it's not my website. Although the feedback does seem very "this toaster doesn't work when I try to cook soup in it! 1/5"

Not everything needs to cater to mobile.

It's strange, I would think that Julia's multiple dispatch would make something more like this desirable

``` df = DataFrame(CSV(File("name.csv")))

data = JSON(File("name.json")) ```

instead of the usual hodge podge of methods ``` df = CSV.read("file.csv", DataFrame)

data = JSON.parsefile("file.json") ```

Yeah this is basically why I keep trying and bouncing off Julia. I understand the real performance reasons why you'd choose to use Julia but the syntax is the perfect distance from python to make it extremely difficult to me. It's just close enough to get constantly confused. So if I really wanted to do much work in it I'd have swear off python - and I can't do that because for trivial stuff python is more convenient…

I have done both complex and trivial stuff in both languages and Julia isn't more inconvenient for trivial things.

Ah, it's a post mentioning Julia, and there you are.

Nah, I'll do it with SQL

Same here, I don't get the point of this other that "don't want to learn SQL".

You're saying all Pandas usage (an incredibly popular library) is because people don't want to use SQL?

You do a lot of software development on mobile?

A lot of data scientists don't know SQL and don't understand why people use it. That said, there are cases where in memory workloads and certain manipulations are less encumbered by dataframes APIs. But in a lot of cases... They get abused by people who really do need to push themselves a little bit to learn something new.
