I watched an interview with him, his end goal is no code machine learning so when he is saying python isn’t the future it is because he prefers a type system that can’t be achieved with python.

I agree that users don’t care, I use Spark a lot and don’t care if I write scala, python or even c# now.

(I think I have paraphrased the podcast correctly :) )

Now that I agree on. I suspect we will see something like GPT-5 reliably converting plain English into code sooner than Julia displacing Python as king of ML.
