I feel like the community has a high rate of domain experts. Newcomers will come to discourse.julialang.org and ask basic "how-to" questions while providing a small code snippet.

Then the package authors, who often do research in the relevant fields, will start long discussions about the application context and the best approach to take (beyond Julia implementation).

That's both fun and a wonderful opportunity to learn, especially across narrow academic fields.
