Julia, is by far better than Python, cleaner, functional, and type safe …

Python’s duck typing is a reason for desperation … if a project grows bigger type safety will simplify refactoring your code.

In Python every more modern feature feels like bolted on, concurrency, functional programming, a little bit type guidance (safety is too much)….

Julia is cool, like a modern interpretation of FORTRAN, inspired by Python, Java, and Scala.

I do understand that the tool chain and the support of Julia for GPUs/APUs isn’t perfect, yet.

Recently I tried to understand how I could use Julia in a Lambda / Google Function … difficult, in my understanding you would need to compile a SO and use it from a Python program. That isn’t simplifying testing, development, and development.

So it makes sense to tune Python, but in the long term Julia will probably be the better alternative.
