Loved vs Dreaded again. Who's beating Julia?

I would take any language over VBA, so I view your problem as 2 stage.

  1. Why should you move away from VBA? [Obvious to anyone who has real experience using anything else]

  2. Why Julia over any other language like Python, Rust, R, etc? Here the arguments become more muddled. I’ll sing the praises of Julia every day, but I’d be lying if I told you that I would have been any less productive or successful if I had been using Python or R. Some things are easier in Julia, some things are harder. At the end of the day, for what I do, programming languages are just tools. I’m sure everyone has their favorite hammer.
