I'm working a lot on M1 and few months ago it was unusable for Deep Learning stuff but now its mediocre not good but also not terrible. (even coreml stuff wasn't working properly on M1 2 months ago)
Every time there is a topic about python, there is this one Julia guy who spam Julia "alternative" for python solution in every topic.
Can you just guys stop? it kinda feels like watching a cult.
I think i can answer that, first of all Julia isnt as fast as C/C++/Nim etc. in most cases Julia is just fast in scientific computing that's all. (there is only one "scientific" benchmark on kostya benchmarks)
Second to write very fast julia u need to knew a lot of "tricks" and in most cases u won't be doing it as easy as writing normal code.
And all people writing this benchmark is measuring compilation time (XD?) or not including jitting time they could just look at code/readme for 5s before commenting.
Julia is fast and can be as fast as C but not in all cases and not as easy at it seems.
If u just look on the main page u would see they are excluding jitting time (using warm start to measure jitted languages)
Dunno why this people cant just read few lines of comments in github page before posting :D
Its okish on ubuntu and wsl but windows still lag hard.
Worst think is very narrowed libaries working only on apple devices even most cool open source projects are just locked and are looking only on apple ecosystem (dont get me wrong its huge enough to just ignore other ecosystem at the moment sadly)
Just saying but julia open source is kinda dead outside few very high quality packages
