We haven't done too many comparisons with BioJulia since that paper, although we did address the (valid) issues they raised such as data validation (i.e. Seq now validates input data by default, but this can be optionally disabled). We did compare against them in our last paper in a sequence alignment benchmark: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-021-00985-6 (check the supplement).
