I think you are being unfair. Just look at the various Julia forums: addressing startup latency has been the main focus since 1.3 and each of the version since then (especially the 1.6 beta) have had significant improvements. Same with the REPL comments: you can easily just write scripts instead of using Revise/Pluto/IJulia or another REPL approach.

The problem is that I can't. The startup latency makes using scripts practically impossible. I think it could be relatively easy to fix (hack). I'll shut up about this on the very second there's some way to get same magnitude of latency with scripts as there's with REPL.

Well then, DaemonMode.jl as a hack to run scripts as fast as in REPL by leaving a julia Daemon running and just sending work to it
