I think it&#x27;s a little naive to &quot;give up&quot; on a language early on, but on the same note, I&#x27;ve walked away from several for periods of time because they lacked the maturity I needed.<p>I did enjoy the article and the linked article that spelled out ways to increase performance with Python.  With any environment there are dramatic performance improvements to be had with a little bit of engineering and knowledge.<p>I&#x27;ve seen a bit of an odd shift towards Julia - People seem to be adopting it in droves from my perspective.  That means that the development team is doing something very right.  Given some of the people I&#x27;ve heard talking about Julia, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s going away any time soon.<p>This kind of feedback is good for the team.  If you are going in another direction for the time being, stating why is always helpful.  Glad to see a developer here in this thread.
