Whenever I see people claiming that Julia is fast, I feel like they are cheating.

It is only fast if you don't count the "compilation" times.

For example, every time you are trying to plot something ```using Plots```, it will take over 40 seconds to compile the Plots package.

Then, you have the large memory usage. In my experience, plotting in Julia requires approximately 14x more RAM than in python or Matlab.

Julia has an awful experience, really.
