Julia seems to be doing a better job catching up to R in this space than Python. I haven't used it personally, but the demos of Genie Framework are impressive: https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl / https://genieframework.com/

That's just not true. https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl https://github.com/JuliaWeb/HTTP.jl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsxJt4prFG4 And with upcoming improvements to binary size and structured concurrency (it already does go-like lightweight threads) it will get even better.

People definitely have used PyCall in production. Julia at this point covers everything in NumPy, SciPy and much more. For optimization, bayesian stuff, scientific, and the convergence of the above with ML, it's far ahead- https://sciml.ai/ Even has relatively mature web frameworks (https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl)

In Julia adoption keeps climbing

Julia is perfectly fine for non numerical programming, better in ways than python inheritance spaghetti. See: https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl Multiple dispatch + parametric types is a very general and powerful programming model. It doesn't all apart at all, and anything python is a pycall away.

arthurcolle·Mar 22, 2019Recommendation phrase

Python added 'type hints' as of 3.5 BTW https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html Julia has a web framework called Genie (https://github.com/essenciary/Genie.jl) which seems decent enough (probably useful for data visualizations but I don't know of many people using it (I haven't used it for anything worth mentioning) One of the neatest things I found when I was messing around with Julia was UnicodePlots, which lets you make nice plots right in the terminal. I love that little library and used it to build a little live orderbook of GDAX right in the terminal. I wish there were more terminal-based applications for non-sysadmin/engineering tasks, I feel like its such a useful medium.

Certainly not as mature as most languages that focus on web (since it was not the priority), but it shouldn't be hard to create simple services. For example with: https://github.com/essenciary/Genie.jl https://github.com/wookay/Bukdu.jl

Jcol1·Oct 31, 2016

How is julia or it's type system not suitable for general purpose programming? Multidispatch seems like a generalization of python...and fields don't have to be typed. general purpose programs in julia: https://github.com/shashi/Escher.jl https://github.com/essenciary/Genie.jl
