i bet u dont do numerical computing so julia ain't for u anyway.

i love python. in fact, in my daily run on cloud run it's one of the key component since it has a decent gcp client library for writing query code to bigquery.

but then i glue it up with bash and run some other analysis in julia.

i think you can have python, julia, bash, r, whatever. heck, i even dabled in go and react.

just saying julia is aimed at numerical first.

and i think 0-based indexing was merely a historical accident anyway due to lack of memory in early computers so use every last bit including the 0 even though it's not suitable for indexing but is suited for calculating mem offsets.

whatever, use whatever u like, not trying to promote julia to you or anyone else. just having a good argument on friday afternoon

Just to be clear, I am saying that you "having a good argument" is harming my impression of Julia. And you, of course.
