Was JuliaCon 2020 remote? That probably has more to do with it. I can’t possibly imagine there are 40X more active users in one year. The niche it serves isn’t particularly large, either.

Yes, it was completely online. The comparison doesn't make sense.

Also, next time it's IRL the numbers would seem to indicate a huge setback, so I wouldn't use those :D
