Tooks some digging, but [here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Julia/comments/n2mje4/comment/gwmt1...). I was talking about invoking Julia from the shell as a script. Because loading packages takes time, I found that my script was significantly faster in Python than Julia.

I never did get around to trying the daemon mode thing someone suggested. Someday I'll have a reason to do this again and try it.

Scolded is a bit exaggerated, I think. Python starts faster, but as soon as you have long running complex tasks Julia takes off - it's just the tradeoff you were hitting.
