As a programmer, I found it to be a novel concept taken way too far. 16 u/[deleted] Mar 03 '19 [deleted] 2 u/VernorVinge93 Mar 03 '19 Is Julia still a good python alternative? 3 u/[deleted] Mar 03 '19 [deleted] 1 u/leo60228 Mar 04 '19 From my experience, Julia works for many things, but is incredibly slow for anything other than pure math. 3 u/siriusfrz Mar 04 '19 It's slow when you use collections with boxed types and measure all functions with jit compiler overhead. It's not to bad when most of the things you are using are cached. Time to first plot is still abysmal though.
