With all due respect to all the people working on Julia, I see a stark difference in rigor between say Python's PEP / RFCs and how Julia's core developers operate. The former is a strict formal process with a lot of thought given to a particular PEP proposal, whereas the latter seems like an informal chaotic hashing/bikeshedding between a few key people in Julia community. I've contributed to Julia and people are really nice but IMO it is missing structure, discipline, hardline regimented approach of confronting difficult problems, etc. One feels like hearing a supreme court case and the other a street brawl to decide upon important issues.
