> Based on the amount and the ferocity of the comments, it is natural to conclude that Julia as a whole must produce incorrect results and therefore cannot be a productive environment. However, the scope of the blog post and the discussions are narrow. In general, I still recommend Julia because it is fundamentally productive and, with care, correct.

If TFA really means "Most of the time if statements take the correct branch, and it's unusual for them to take the incorrect branch, and you should use tests to detect whether the if statements in your program are working" then I would appreciate it if TFA would come out and say that. I am sort of used to programming in environments in which if statements work 100% of the time.
