They are pocketing millions of dollars, but stomp their foot on the community. They are only hiring 5 more people, despite getting millions and millions of dollars. The people behind this project are not good well intentioned people. The language itself is great, due to the thankless work of many contributors who never got paid. The people behind the language are selfish and they intentionally harmed some Julia language projects, such as Grassmann.jl by banning valuable contributors who had good intentions and spent thousands of hours of their time contributing to the community.
I just quit using Julia language and am switching to Wolfram language.
Well, I still might use Julia personally in the future, but my days of contributing to the community are over.
The julia community is thankless, and the people at Julia computing are mean spirited and they think it's acceptable to harm people having good intentions (like me), having contributed thousands of hours of free time to help people on their forum and releasing my own packages used by thousands of people.
Julia Computing just raised a bunch of money, but they are just pocketing it for themselves while they stomp their foot on people they perceive as unworthy.
Yea, it's a good language, but the people behind it are very selfish and harmful to the free software community.
