Nice article- I very much enjoyed it.<p>As a side note: I don’t understand why Julia is compared to Python. It really is in the same realm as R - a language designed for scientific computing.<p>Python is a general purpose language - you can do any (most) tasks with it. Being general purpose is also useful for scientific computing because when the “science” builds into something more it very easy to make an API or a webpage with it etc.<p>Because of this I don’t think Julia will ever take off in the same way because of it more narrow scope.
