You are welcome. Julia issues tend to be reproduceable as Pkg (the package manager) builds against a deterministically compiled binaries and has downloads package versions from a particular git branch, which are automatically archived and snapshoted to GitHub.

Seems you are the first to mention python here. Nobody forced you to enter the discussion.

Imagine if every release thread about a language was immediately filled with an insecure preemptive defense from similar languages.

As a juliastan, I think that if you have no need to move away from python, you shouldn't.

Thought I recognised the name of the original poster and physicsguy apparently has a history of shitposting to derail discussions that are even just tangentially related to Julia [1].

Frankly, I expect better on Hacker News and it is not like it is difficult to come up with real and interesting issues that can be discussed rather than utter rubbish knee-jerking (like say the redefinition of structs that is already ongoing in this very submission).

Wouldn't it be better to add an -a to the end: a juliastani ? :-)
