Julia frameworks to create desktop GUIs and web apps

I agree with almost all of what you said. Except personally, I'm much more productive in something like Julia (or R or Python) than a language like Rust for the type of development I usually want to do. I mostly write Python and C++ for my dayjob, but would have a hard time justifying Julia for production at the moment, though I love the language.

Even more than Rust or Go, I think Julia could take a page from Typescript in terms of tooling because JS is so dynamic and the tooling is so nice.

I do think compiler latency has gotten way better in more recent versions of Julia, but I think better ahead of time compilation, faster interpretation, and code caching are all important.

I think Julia's tooling used to be better in Atom (Juno), however, Atom is dead.

I agree with you. Julia has gotten better but it’s still way slower than Python or R. And the workflow of running tests just make it painful. I think I’m familiar enough with Julia and I can write code and it’ll likely just work, but I’m not a 100% confident. With rust (and Python or Typescript with type hinting), I’m much MUCH more confident.
