Those tools didn’t actually exist the year or so I was writing Julia professionally (and that was only 3 years ago) so it’s nice to see the language coming along.
At the same time, I would expect the Rust ecosystem to overtake Julia’s in that domain in the next couple of years. Polars is already nicer than pandas, I’ve seen a some promising work on numpy-style tensor libraries, and I’m pretty impressed by the progress with getting enzyme integrated into Rust (I could never make it work with Julia). Here’s a nice example repo I saw recently:
