My only exposure to Julia is this post https://danluu.com/julialang/ from the end of 2014 (or 2015, with the updates), so I'm wondering if anyone knows how things might have changed since then?

That’s a six-year-old article about an alpha version of the language.

It's better. Stack traces are more reliable, if still unreadable (full file paths are either missing or wrong). Ahead-of-time compilation (PackageCompliler) is there, but it's not quite completely robust.

I wouldn't start a serious project in Julia, but it's great for notebook-style development.
