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?

There's probably a good amount of work that exists somewhere between your needs and "could be a spreadsheet", where caring about performance isn't an issue or hasn't surfaced yet, either practically or culturally (where the boundaries of what research *can* be done "tomorrow" are of importance)
