I’m a big fan of Julia and extremely interested in seeing it succeed and become a widely used language. What are some things that the community could still do to hasten or increase the probability of mass adoption of Julia? As someone involved in machine learning, I think it is crucial for Julia to…

@chakravala , You’re missing my point. I wasn’t talking about Julia as a language. Julia is pretty simple and one could always pick the set of features one would like to employ. I was talking about the part @Tamas_Papp said that what’s needed is more contribution all around. For that, the bar set…

An open letter to recruiters. I often get emails from recruiters that want R/Python/SAS skills. I am thinking about drafting an open letter to such recruiters that tells them why they should list Julia as one of skills they seek. Reasons to list Julia as a skill they seek This way it will get th…

AFAIK recruiters do what companies ask them to do. You will probably get e-mails from recruiters looking for Julia skills when there is a market demand for it. That said, many of these e-mails are unsolicited (= spam). The Julia community has been remarkably free from that, it would be nice to keep…

Throwing some wild idea here :slight_smile: I’m working on the game industry, which has a huge population of programmers and they have almost zero interest in Julia.
