What a constructive, positive, down-to-earth, well-written comment, and what a nice reprieve from everything that's broken about the tone of web discussions these days. You point out that there's still another player in this space (R), but not in a way that's whiny, dismissive, or doctrinaire, and you celebrate the healthy competition. You suggest a streamlined path toward Julia ecosystem maturity, rooted in real-world needs. Nicely done!
I have no real dog in this fight, but I hope Julia team members (and/or aspiring Julia ecosystem contributors) will read and consider your point.
This whole thread seems to be quite civilized. I can see no name-calling or off-topic rants, only a frank exchange of opinions, mixed in with some facts.
Your post seem to indicate that there is some sort of 'fight' going on, or that the tone is broken. I disagree. If most web discussions were like this one, we would have fewer problems in this world.
Oh, that's exactly what I mean -- when I say "everything that's broken about the tone of web discussions these days", I'm talking about threads and topics other than this one. I don't see any 'fight' here, and that's what's so refreshing.
All right! I got the impression you were contrasting that particular post with the rest of this discussion, but apparently not. Still slightly confused here. Oh well, carry on.
