I actually find that ecosystem for Julia is not that big of an issue for me. I guess that my specific use-case (data analysis, numerical simulations) is probably the most developed part of the ecosystem, but regarding that I find that the ecosystem is much more homogeneous than for example python - most things work with most other things (eg units or measurement uncertainties libraries work automatically with a piloting library).

As you probably know, that almost magical interworking of libraries is a consequence of Julia’s multiple dispatch and type system:

Yes, it's a wonderful language for scientific computing - mostly by the venture of being designed from the ground up for this role, and not retroactively ported in (like python).
