I personally think Julia is technologically superior to a number of popular languages, with a voracious appetite for even more smarts. But you are right that this isn&#x27;t necessarily enough.<p>Based on what I&#x27;ve seen so far, I think Julia could eventually break into the Tiobe top 20 languages (it&#x27;s currently in the top 100). On the other hand, I think this is plenty. As a language currently aimed at (admittedly fairly large) niches that would be an outstanding outcome.<p>It also makes it fun to work with as a language. It&#x27;s not just more chicken.
