From the post:
If I have to point at what is most needed for productivity, I'd
say interactivity. Interactive visualization, manipulation,
REPLs, exploratory programming, live-coding.<
A language has both ~native efficiency and is usable for that
level of interactivity is Julia :-)
My own experiments with Julia massively contradict that
statement. I wrote some basic scripting programs that read large
text files into hash tables which count word occurrences and
Julia's performance was abysmal compared to D and Java.
