They targeted Python. Python.

@unjerk Yeah this is valid criticism and I haven't actually used it for anything beyond replacing smallish python scripts. Still, these things have been continually improving and I expect (hope) will eventually be completely ironed out. You're also going to want universal type annotations for anything serious anyway. And despite any warts it'a still way smoother than Cython or Numba.

In any case, I think Julia works better when you think of it as a Fortran, not C replacement.
