I fear this will be another unladen swallow, it is not for lack of trying, rather the resistance to change.

I honestly really wish this isn't the case again.

Python is falling behind fast. Look at how well PHP has improved in performance and how Ruby is doing lately.

This resistance is biting back.

This is why I see Julia's uptake as positive, because if that isn't going to change the community aversion to these attempts and will rather keep writing C, nothing else will.
