For years I’ve seen these hype Julia articles. Yet, out of all the open source, all the companies I’ve worked for, I’ve never come across any valuable system running Julia. I’ve never needed open source and found that only Julia serves the need. I’m kind of tired of programming click bait that ends up on HN. Much like the “front end programming has failed” article that is popular right now. It’s all for clicks. The reality is mainstream programming paradigms are effective and work.
I’ve wondered why Julia hasn’t found more root in places where MATLAB is the primary software used for simulation, just as a way to save on licensing. From what I’ve heard from managers, that cost is not insignificant.
