I think it’s good and healthy to have folks in our community — in this case @jakobnissen — be clear and up front about what they find Julia’s challenges to be. This has spurred lots of discussion already in the community; on HN itself (you’ll find many familiar names) and on Slack. If you’re interested in discussing this further, I think you can join in on the discussions there or you can focus your question a bit more. Without such a focus, I don’t foresee this topic being productive. For more details about how we like to approach such topics productively here, see the [POLICY: feedback discussion splitting](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/policy-feedback-discussion-splitting/57362). ---
