I feel the biggest misleading statements around Julia is that for true speed you can somehow ignore the lower abstractions, or that there is some kind of free lunch, but always what you gain in performance you'll spend in development time. Julia has some neat tricks, but they are not generally and universally applicable at least not like other languages. I dunno. These arguments against Julia are many, but I'm still appalled they have so many handy wavy misleading statements in just their introductory text, I don't think it be less than a decade before they recover.
