    Did #julialang end up kinda stalling or at least plateau-ing lower than hoped?

    I know it's got its community and dedicated users and has continued development.

    But without being in that space, and speculating now at a distance, it seems it might be an interesting case study in a tech/lang that just didn't have landing spot it could arrive at in time as the tech-world & "data science" reshuffled while julia tried to grow ... ?

    Can a language ever solve a "two language" problem?

    I work in the optimization modelling space. Julia's JuMP optimization library is outstanding. Although I've seen many, many applications of Python optimization models in the wild, I have seen exactly zero uses of JuMP in the wild. I have seen Julia used in the wild - but just once, and that was driven by an individual, so likely doomed to fail in the long run.

    Perhaps the use of Julia for teaching will lead to greater use in the wild in a few years, but I'm not as optimistic as I once was.
