Why We Use Julia, 10 Years Later

I wasn't comparing numba to numpy. I was comparing to python code where you don't care about performance. The main reason I don't find numba appealing is that Julia gives you numba like performance while allowing you to use structs (think classes) to organize stuff.

This doesn't really make sense. If you don't care about performance then you have no use for Numba.

Also, the comment you replied to was explicitly comparing Numba to vectorized Python, so you should not abandon that comparison in your reply without saying so.

I think the point is that one wants to write code that is similar to regular non-performance sensitive python code, with classes and everything, and still have it be fast.

The comment you replied to explicitly says "regular python".
