You mean, the time it takes at run-time? I'm not quite sure what you mean - I think Julia's package management is generally better than Python (which is a mess) - it doesn't play well with Nix but I can't really blame it for that.

I think they're referring to the JIT compilation time. There are some ways to mitigate it, such as creating an image using PackageCompiler.jl, but it's definitely a noticeable issue IME. https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/
