This is probably a "me problem," but I have had a hard time moving beyond the tutorials to actually getting work done. For example, I am working on a project right now where I would typically use a dict of dicts in python and then use map functions so that I can process the keys in parallel. When coming to python from perl, ruby, and c++ I found that I already had a pretty good intuition about how this would work.
I read the documentation, but could not make as much sense of it as I should. I searched online for example and found a few hits on the question, but not nearly as many as I would in other languages, and if there were answers then they were often marked "wrong," or I could not get them to work with my code.
After a lot of searching and trial and error I finally got that working, then started looking into how to run this on multiple nodes and processors and got completely lost.
I am sure the documentation is there and that I could do a better job figuring it out. I am also sure Julia would be a great match for the type of work that I do, and I am going to keep trying. But from what I have seen so far it feels like the pain of trying to migrate from Python to Julia is pretty difficult to justify.
This is definitely not just a you problem. There are resources out there like [1] and [2], but much less in the way of curation and a dearth of end-to-end tutorials/walkthroughs.
I'm not sure how best to improve the situation, but the current state of things leaves much to be desired. If you're willing, don't hesitate to post about your experience and any feedback you have on the community forums.
