Either someone wants to use Julia, and there are a few things that they don’t like. OK, if that case let’s talk about how to make Julia better.
Or, someone does _not_ want to use Julia (e.g. because they don’t like dynamic languages and want static typing and IDE support to go with that). In that case a perfectly reasonable question is: what do you wish to accomplish by telling us that you don’t like Julia because it is Julia?

This “taking offense because I don’t like the post” is getting ridiculous.

@PetrKryslUCSD: These brusque replies and banter here is not productive (at best) and can easily be seen as unwelcoming. Please take note of @DOT’s user page.
> Dot has left – way too intense this community.
One of the reasons I split this topic out so quickly was in an attempt to forestall such a thing.
Flags don’t represent dislikes or even necessarily offense. They represent a post that has the [appearance of rudeness](https://discourse.julialang.org/faq#be-civil) or breaking community norms, even if that wasn’t the intent (or a post that’s simply off-topic).
I’m very saddened to see @DOT go. In my view, Julia is making great strides towards better static behaviors and it’s not unreasonable to have asks of more static linting and analysis as well.
