Yes! this is the biggest roadblock for me. I find python startup time unbearably long. I do not want to imagine even using julia. And this is sad because the language is orders of magnitude better (for math, at least).

If you're used to launching everything from your OS's command prompt, this is a killer. But if you get used to launching a REPL and running things from there, it's much better, because you only pay the startup latency once.
