I haven't disappeared (even though somebody just might have preferred that I had done so), I still love the Julia language (even though I think there are some warts, some flab that can be lost, etc.), am still programming in Julia pretty uch 24/7, have been very active in trying to help people new to Julia (on Gitter, StackOverflow, Quora, julia-users), even teaching it to my kids, promoting it on Twitter, trying to help improve the language as much as I can without being able to submit issues or PRs on GitHub, and contributing what I can of my own work under MIT license on GitHub. I'm also attending JuliaCon 2016 this summer, will just have to see what my reception there will be.
