Well for me, I have 30+ years of software engineering for billion dollar companies to look back on.
Pardon me if I don’t find your input valuable. I’ll check back with you in twenty years to see if you matter. ;)
I’m not sure what you mean by “sound cool” but you have a lot to learn. Julia’s types are not like templates or generics in other languages, they can basically fit into any method-shaped hole. So, at a call site, there’s no way for me to intuitively reason about the data at play, because some_method() can be literally anything. Combine that with a lack of interfaces, and it’s just mangled up code all over the place.
I’ve worked on codebases that stretch longer than my working career, I’ve worked on code where 100+ PhDs had left their mark in gnarly R/Matlab voodoo, I’ve worked on code that transacts hundreds of billions of tax dollars in a year, and much more.
Julia is a specialized tool for HPC, and the illusion that multiple dispatch without interfaces can be used to build reliable, understandable, engineerable systems will die as surely as the sun sets each night.
I’m not sure your background, and maybe HPC is your expertise or whatever. It seems like you need some better coworkers to learn from, or at least more variety in your intellectual diet.
