Julia is not even at 1.0 yet, and will be full of holes until at least then. It's still a wonderful language for technical/scientific computing, but you don't want it to be your only language if you have to make diverse real things.


Couldn't have said it better myself.

That's almost the complete opposite of Python, which has the ugliness of real world use (eg, 2.7 vs 3), but also has those thousands or real world hardened packages.


Wow, this got more downvoted than I've had in a long time!

I'm pretty sure that this is an uncontroversial view so I'm a little surprised, especially since I work in this field.

Enlighten me, Julia fans?
