I 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.
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.
