I agree. Which is why I think using Julia in a “scripting” way is a mistake. Just fire it up and then keep working. In this way the functionality described here could be easily replicated fully in Julia (as it really already is, just consider the various packages already mentioned in this thread). Summary: I don’t see why to get excited about having to deal with Rust.
