I was excited to try Julia, but then, as I saw it was an interpreted language, with bulky runtime, slow startup times and bloated library sizes - my initial interest quickly faded.
For the same reasons I see languages like Python, Java, C# as inferior.
Julia compiles to native code, same as C++/Rust.
Java and C# definitely don't belong on the same basket.
And inferior to what, the crab?
How is Julia an interpreted language? I sometimes wish there was a robust interpreter for Julia when the compilation latency is not worth the execution speed.
