#2Im not sure if Julia will ever take off. Right now there are huge investments in the AI space and Julia has no presence in those.

julia has already taken off for certain niches

You don't need Julia. Julia was trying to be a better python. We will have better python in form of Mojo.

What is an example? Are there any where it is dominant?
scientific models and simulations can be and are made very successfully in julia. In particular the diffeq landscape is probably the languages largest comparative advantage

As much as it pains me to say it, I don't think Julia will.
It looks to me like the practical problems with Julia, while addressable, are being addressed too slowly.
There is simply too many rough edges and usability problems as it is now, and at the current pace it will take maybe 10 or 15 years to address them.
On the other hand, the major use case for Julia is to have a fast, dynamic language. And it seems to me the time horizon for Python to become fast, or Rust or C++ to become dynamic is indefinite, so Julia is still the best bet in that space.

Mojo is vapourware from a private company (and we all know how those turn out re programming languages) until proven otherwise.

#9I like R and used it two ways. 1) Scheme-like functionalish 2) Tiddyverse and found Julia to be a lot of talk but seemed clunky to me.

That’s a broad area. I work in astrodynamic simulations, and don’t know anyone doing much work in Julia. Maybe a couple of grad students playing with it, but that’s it. 99% of the work is Python, Fortran, and C/C++.
Are there subdomains that use it a lot? I am not sure what the diffeq landscape is exactly although it sounds related to dynamical simulations?
