Hey [Matthijs Cox](https://hashnode.com/@matthijscox)! Just came across this post linked from the most recent JuliaHub blog post. Not sure if you were aware when writing this, but I actually gave a talk at the third JuliaCon on this very subject! (The comment engine won't let me link directly, but if you search YouTube for "JuliaCon 2016 The Two Cultures of Programming" it should pop right up.)

Really neat to see I'm not alone in this view :-)

Hi Joshua, I almost forgot about your talk, but I remember watching it and you definitely inspired me years ago. I should have included a link to your talk, thanks for reminding me! Let me know if you ever want to chat about this topic.
