Hello, I've to decide between Racket and Julia as language of choice for writing desktop app. Racket's advantage is that its GUI support is provided out of the box, while in Julia I'd probably have to use Gtk.jl as the best supported package since I do not want to use Electron or some other JS/browser-based things.
Leaving aside other language features' pros/cons, I was a bit surprised when someone in Julia's channel responded to me with: "Racket is pretty amazing, but I stopped looking into it after I figured, that it can't really be made fast language...I just talked at some point with some of the core devs, and they told me that racket may never be julia fast (some of them actually know julia quite well)". I received some feedback on it in Slack's channel, but curious to receive some more here. iow. whether "Racket may never be Julia fast" can be taken in general or it is just a question from case to case? Sincerely, Gour -- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death.
