Julia has optional typing which is static as well

I am not sure I agree with you. You do need compile time type to generate efficient hardware accelerated code.

Python has strong type, but that is only available at run time, which is not useful to generate code.

But now python also have optional type. this might be utilized in generating more efficient code though

Thanks! that's a very interesting idea! Definitely worth exploring. Not sure it is my false sense. It seems that many python deep learning people are so proud of their chose, it is difficult to convince them.

So much bashing on static typing on deep learning:) Does any one from Google can explain the benefit since you guys are working on swift in tensorflow
