this isn't true. I don't think you understand how university funding works.

there exist many high quality criticisms of Julia's type system, but this article does not contain them if I'm being totally honest. I think this writeup here https://viralinstruction.com/posts/badjulia/#the_type_system... contains more valid gripes about the type system than the one you linked.

I won't pretend that Julia doesn't have its fair share of `wats`, but in my experience they tend to be in one of two categories

* usage of `OffsetArrays.jl` (really, just avoiding this package fixes most of the issues)

* hideously cursed syntax that should only pass a code review if your name is Lovecraft, but for some reason the parser allows it

if you don't do either of those things (which at least personally speaking, I don't) then I don't think the rate of "correctness issues" is any higher or lower than I experience in other ecosystems. In fact, it's probably lower

Don't forget that other languages are not immune... I love the `polars` library as well but in my two years of using it I've encountered organically two separate "correctness" bugs. It's just par for the course for any big code surface

while of course you're correct on a technical level, I do tend to agree with the statement that Julia is not particularly friendly to bash-scripting-heavy workflows

I know I know I know that this same refrain has probably been said nonstop since Julia's first day after launch, but the language really is getting noticeably better every single release. Each of the releases I've been around for (so 1.8-1.11, and now on nightly, 1.12) is adding meaningful new features, performance improvements, and addressing many of the oldest and sharpest pain points

the `--trim` feature coming in 1.12 will still be considered experimental, and if I had to take a guess won't be considered "stable" until 1.14 or so, but I'm really excited to see it picked up around the ecosystem!

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that an oligarch in the middle of a coup attempt isn't interested in being transparent

> they can’t give anyone orders and impose consequences for not following them

well, they also demonstrably did this?

but I'm pretty done with this "conversation"

I think it is hard power. and also note they had write access, not just read. so if Musk wanted to he could have just straight up deleted all the data. that is real power.

I didn't redefine it lol. you assumed I was using one definition and appear to be confused when I clarified. I've been very consistent.

Knowledge is power

the mortality rate is significantly higher

gettin a bit defensive there? does calling out the fact that Musk obviously did a Nazi salute strike a chord with you?

Full access to US Treasury payment infrastructure and private data on millions of US citizens, for two.

please don't spread misinformation. it clearly has power, and has been demonstrably exercising that power.

> to shine a light into dark places of government spending

yes, I'm aware that this is the Official Position of the State. but quite obviously that is not what it is actually doing

It's a general purpose language made by experts in a myriad of subjects.

> Julia didn’t actually have any proper PLT or compilers people involved in the outset.

while I don't disagree that currently JAX outshines Julia's autodiff options in many ways, I think comments like this are 1. false 2. rude and 3. unnecessary to make your point

just watch the video man. it's clearly a nazi salute.

Chapel folk did a really nice benchmark last year including Julia, where it landed pretty much right on the Pareto frontier of code size vs performance

I know that's not exactly answering your question, but you might be interested https://chapel-lang.org/ChapelCon/2024/chamberlain-clbg.pdf

I think one really good use case is complex simulations.

A lot of people are very concerned about it. but what am I supposed to do about it? I voted, canvassed, and donated as hard as I could already. and I lost.

“Keep calm, they said on television. Everything is under control.

I was stunned. Everyone was, I know that. It was hard to believe. The entire government, just like that. How did they get in, how did it happen?

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on…”

I'm not sure what could possibly be a bigger fish right now. This is, quite literally, the dismantling of our entire government and its public services unfolding before our eyes.

that's a little self-flagellatory. I don't think it takes a whole lot of legal education to recognize that what is happening is not legal.

most lawyers aren't constitutional scholars either. do you really think an expertise in personal injury law in Rhode Island makes one more qualified to recognize that an unelected billionaire shutting down organizations without any Congressional approval or appointment is illegal?

liberal is not leftist

is it hyperbole? seems pretty literal

what a revolting comment.

unfortunately I can't use Zed until they support REPL on remote connections (or remote Jupyter)
