I'd like to add that it took the Julia community itself quite a bit to understand what this "value proposition" actually is, especially that it is not just a very nice high level language language geared towards linear algebra that is fast as C and allows some interaction with the type system!

Yes, I fully agree. You can even see the vestiges of this in julia's own official website: https://julialang.org

I cringe a little every time I see a julia advertisement that centres it's premise around "use julia 'cause it's fast!".

I love how fast julia is, but that really isn't the important part.
