Correctness in Julia feels like it'll never happen, because interfaces seem like they'll never happen.

Correctness guarantees / interfaces and slow startup are both my biggest pain points in Julia.

I often think what would happen if every Julia dev just dropped the language and used Rust instead. A scientific ecosystem in Rust would be amazing.

As someone who really likes both Rust and Julia, there is absolutely no way Julia's scientific users would switch to a static language. Rust is slow to write, verbose, also suffers from long compile times, has no REPL or garbage collector... It is deeply unsuitable for scientific coding.
