At present, in what aspects is Julia still relatively weak compared to other mainstream programming languages?

We will probably pull this into SciML. I still need to take a deeper look and find some grants around the topic but it’s actually quite odd that some of Daniel’s packages weren’t in SciML, given how many SciML deps they had and the level of communication between us. I think now is just the right time to elevate some of his personal projects into larger maintained systems, including his finite volume work.

Chris has a lot of other things on his plate, but others in the community have already stepped up to help it update to Julia v1.11 and keep it alive. He wants to spend his open source time working on LoopModels, which is effectively the v2 of that package. So it has found enough of a home and there’s continuing projects here.
