I love Julia and have used it for years, but this is really my only complaint with my language. I used to do HPC work and ended up spending a lot of time tracking down where tiny bits of memory were being allocated in for loops. A lot of my routines ended up having “blocks” of memory to pass in as arguments, which as you mention, moves the language a bit closer to C or Fortran IMO.

Minimizing allocations (and deallocations) and optimizing memory layout are just things you have to do for HPC in any language. Though I think that it is easier in Julia than in C/Fortran.
