#3I love to see Julia growth, if nothing else by being another Dylan like take on Lisp ideas, with a JIT compiler in the box, and the community keeping the effort to overcome tooling issues despite critics.

#4It would be much more useful to see metrics that aren't cumulative if we're interested in growth.
Cumulative measurements, by definition, will never decrease, even if Julia were to fall in popularity.

#5I like the language but I can't help but feel it missed the train and that the ergonomics improvements it offers are too small to switch over from Python.

Depends on which train Julia folks want to board into.

indeed; something like an h5-index would be interesting to see.

It felt to me like they wanted to be the language for ML/DL, which they haven't achieved. They clearly have been working more towards scientific stuff + ML, all the differential equations and math packages are a testament to that (as well as the pharma stuff with Puma).
I'm not aware of what the vision is currently tbh

I think one really good use case is complex simulations.

Yeah it's interesting to see how it's getting on! I wrote my PhD simulation code in it from the ground up as it had nice fundamental abstractions for parallizable code. Of course now it's just Python and Scala/Java but Julia was great for my purpose.
