Did #julialang end up kinda stalling or at least plateau-ing lower than hoped?

I know it's got its community and dedicated users and has continued development.

But without being in that space, and speculating now at a distance, it seems it might be an interesting case study in a tech/lang that just didn't have landing spot it could arrive at in time as the tech-world & "data science" reshuffled while julia tried to grow ... ?

Can a language ever solve a "two language" problem?

In a real way it feels like there's a "hump" with language adoption. Some languages clear it, some don't, and I don't think we have a good feel as an industry for what makes a language "successful" in this regard.

Some things obviously help, other things obviously hurt, but mostly what succeeds or doesn't seems to be a matter of luck intersecting with need.
