I've had so many instances of being rubbed the wrong way from Julia folk. In some ways, it is as annoying as the RIIR folk, but it just happens to be a smaller number of people.
I for one am excited to see the GIL-ectomy work come to the stage that it is today. I followed Larry Hasting's work back in 2016/2017, and I'm glad to see Sam has taken the mantle with Larry's blessing.
the thing which makes this forgivable to me about this kind of astroturfing / shilling / etc is that the people doing it really do believe they are doing good when they are doing it and they don't believe for a moment that other people will see what they are doing for what it is.
you are shouting into the void, and looking foolish while doing so.
