How do we Julians win big when the situation is so unfair?

Make the community and language more friendly to non-scientific software engineers.

I’m serious. This is the number one thing I get when talking to software engineers. How are software engineers supposed to build reliable software and why should a company bet on Julia as a software stack when we have a reputation for being difficult to deploy, distribute and debug (think hunting allocations, unfixable type instabilities and the like)?

This situation isn’t “unfair”, it’s a conundrum of not having a reliable enough basis to start off of.
