Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude. All i wanted to say is that Google Trends not very reliable tool. As for the exponential growth graph, I do not know whether such graph exists or not, generally because I do not care. I know that Julia is nice and convenient language with great community that is solving my problems in the way that I like them to be solved. So i am helping to spread it as much as I can by telling my colleagues about its strengths and by making PRs. For example there were two meetups in Moscow last year and there is going to be another soon, so I have a feeling that community grows.
So yes, I understand your concerns, but I think, that looking at some arbitrary charts and argue over them wouldn’t help as much as growing support by better documentation/conference and so on.
On the side note, I think, that you have the same feelings toward Julia, that it is nice and convenient, otherwise you wouldn’t participate in this long thread. May be you can tell what you really like about it? I suppose things that you found to be convenient and well thought is part of “Julia Lite” right? Sorry if there were an answer before, this thread is really long.
