I applaud Julia developers for their work. They just haven't focused on the UX of using Julia on a daily basis. I have been forced to use Julia as a maintainer (not author) and I feel totally exhausted, defeated and uninspired after working on Julia code.

Just being honest and voicing my opinions. If it hurts the people that worked on it for years, I am sorry.

Have you asked on https://discourse.julialang.org/ already? Maybe, hopefully, you can find help there to feel less exhausted.

-- It's not an opinion when you e.g. say that precompilation has not been addressed when it is being worked on (with much cost, I'd suppose). Same for haven't focused on the UX [snip]. In case you aren't on the julialang discourse I really encourage you to register and ask.

Thanks, I haven’t reached out but mostly seek help on SO.

SO is fine. On discourse (besides asking questions like on SO) there is also space to e.g. discuss why one feels exhausted, defeated and uninspired after working with Julia. This shouldn't be! And there is certainly a way to "fix it" :)
