Couldn't agree more. What you said is a design flaw that the Julia community keeps denying. The Julia community also behaves defensively when it comes to performance. They refuse to accept that Julia doesn't compete with C/Rust on many non-numeric tasks in the real world. In addition, the Julia community has its own circle, its own style to write code. They will trash your code even if it is efficient and logically correct. I once compared implementations in different languages and found Julia is slower than others. Several of them jumped at me, criticized my coding style and blamed me for their fault. But in the end they couldn't improve the performance. At the Julia discourse, I was alone in the argument. That was a really bad experience.
