> Julia has some serious shortcomings when it comes to large projects, and they ban people who talk about it too much

Only one person has ever been banned on GitHub and it was not for talking about any shortcomings. That person is still allowed to and regularly does post on Julia mailing lists – no one has ever been banned from mailing lists.

Shrug I've never seen the mailing lists for Julia, I just recently started reading the github every now and then because it is an interesting language, and I like seeing the development of it. But ~~your community is~~ you are one of the most hilariously salty one's I've ever watched. And sorry but it does look like you banned him for being pushy about the problems making modular software, and doing real development with the language. Which I note you don't dispute.

The main mailing list is here, people can judge for themselves:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/julia-users

Here's a recent (and typical) example of a lengthy series of technical and sometimes pointedly-critical questions:

HN is not the right forum for this, but that's definitely not why he was banned.
