I think the julia team is still relatively small. So it might be was they have to do to make meaningful progress?

Julia's window has probably passed. Pytorch, JAX, Numba etc are eating its lunch. Which is sad because they are all pretty hacky stuff compared to what Julia could be.

Sadly i think you maybe right. With support of one the big 3 (meta,google or MSFT),it will be hard for Julia to create and sustain significant mind share. Wich is really a shame because from technical design standpoint Julia is just brilliant.

Adding to that modular mojo, and i think we might have a repeat of DART vs typescript...

As much as I love proper foundation and language design, people must accept a certain dose of realism, 80/20 approach.

JAX is the least hacky of them and my personal favorite, but ultimately I have to agree. I'm a huge Julia stan but they simply don't have the institutional support that Meta and Google can provide.
