I'm a fan of Julia and have used it and will continue to use it for a lot of my daily work which involves running numeric simulations, but I agree with your critique.

I feel like the ideal language would combine the strengths of Rust (static type checking, great LSP, better threading, better package manager, easy compilation without a large runtime, etc.) with the focus on the scientific computing domain and all the associated trade-offs that Julia has. Maybe it's not possible to have the best of both worlds, but it sure would be nice.
