Right. I think a big part of this is expectation management. Julia lets you compose unrelated libraries much more freely than most other languages do. That's very powerful, but if you come into it expecting all of those compositions to magically work, I think you just have an unrealistic expectation.

There's no silver bullet when it comes to code reuse and Conway's Law can't be entirely avoided.
