> Why is this comment necessary on every Julia-related post?

I think it's just a reaction to constantly seeing Julia being oversold and overmarketed in the geekosphere.

Is it really oversold? Anytime there are Julia threads is much more common to find a reactionary take like the one that started this thread or some dismissal based on a superficial syntax complaint.

There _are_ legitimate complaints about the language (or more exactly, its runtime). Julia 1.9 is a significant milestone on addressing those.

Maybe Julia will not suceed on overtaking anything, but that is not because of a lack of merit.
