I don't know Julia!
I saw devs leaving CL for a new graal (and eventually coming back). Grass may not be greener on the other side…
You can't make it a CLI script, because it compiles the whole code WITH dependencies every time, and as soon as you import some serious libraries, compile times will skyrocket. I quickly hit 40 seconds of compilation with just geospatial lib and dataframes. These 40 seconds turned out to be A LOT when you develop interactively. And you can't build everything in a Jupyter Notebook, because eventually you'll have to switch to a CLI script.
