Well there you go, if it's genuinely better it will speak for itself.

See when I'm being an apologist I say shit like

"Python-like syntax but it compiles to assembly"

"You can mess with the AST like in LISP, to make everything differentiable"

"You can type the code for 10x speed, or leave it untyped for readability, multiple dispatch is basically magic"

You don't see me going around saying "Julia is objectively better"

And not only because I don't want to be a cultist but because it isn't and can't be true, something about no free lunch, something about Gödel incompleteness and expressivity, something something...
