For me, the issue is that there's too much magic happening, e.g. with macros, but finding or solving the issues seems needlessly convoluted. Haskell, Rust, Python, or even C++ feel a lot less magic, and more reasonable despite all being quite different.

Given the premices on which the Python language was designed (giving access to programming to non-programmers), your stance is surprising.
To me, it looks like, to the contrary, that Python is so full of counter-intuitive bits... like doing a［begin:end+1］ to take a slice.

Why is this comment necessary on every Julia-related post? I don't even use Julia outside tutorials but this adds no value beyond things that have already been said N number of times.
Every programming language doesn't need to become _the_ language to do something. They are experiments in how to best express what you want to compute. Even if Julia never takes off, they explore multiple directions other languages might want to implement - multiple dispatch for polymorphism, nested parallelism, macros so you can create DSLs from regular Julia code, and so much more. Asserting that Julia is only successful if everyone is using it is just super reductive.

#6Matlab users should switch to Julia. It’s a real programming language, and better in many ways.
I provide the option of Julia in my tutorials. Students are lazy, and don’t want to explore something new. Most of them stick with matlab.
What prevents matlab users from switching? The syntax is similar.

#7I used to have a reasonably simple notebook for a paper which took about 35 minutes to compile on an old university-provided CPU; even when opening it for the second time.
Therefore, I‘m really excited for the improvements in code caching! Thanks to Tim Holy, Jameson Nash, Valentin Churavy, and others for your work

I think it's just a reaction to constantly seeing Julia being oversold and overmarketed in the geekosphere.

This is such an obnoxiously typical take for this website.
“Well, Ive got nothing substantive to say, so I better start whining about surface level syntax stuff I don't like”

They probably want to say "why is this post necessary for every Julia release?".
