>Julia has the focus on scientific and numerical computing, and is overtaking the python/numpy combo in that niche\

I agree. In fact if Julia hasn't overtaken Python in numerical computing by January 2022 I will consider it a huge failure.



Seriously?!? Julia has no hope of overtaking Python in numerical computing by 2032, expecting movement by 2022 is just delusional. Here is a better prediction: by 2022 people using Python for numerical computing who started doing so in the previous year will exceed the number of people who have ever downloaded Julia since it was first released.


No, not seriously. But also seriously. The article is based on % change which is of course ridiculous because the % increase of a small population isn't at all interesting. And GP also has a ridiculous claim. So I'm offering a stake in the ground to determine if Julia is on the track that GP claims. If GP wants to come back and discuss where the stake should be, it will be an interesting conversation.


Not people that matter, though, mostly just redundant copies of the same person.
