		cjalmeida on June 26, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why I still recommend Julia We recently used Julia to solve (correctly) a super complex scheduling problem for a major airline. Our budget was 5min, Python would get not even close to a solution in that time. The tool is being actively used in production. Julia is not not only fine, but my go to language for performance problems.

Ok but comparing with Python is like a worst-case scenario, and long running tasks would amortize Julia’s performance issues.

There are a great many use-cases/language comparisons you could find where Julia would be the worse performing language.
