Julia has all these things

"Given enough time, though, I think the paradigms that Julia is exploring will make it a killer general-purpose language."

I think its already a Killer general-purpose language (except for the module system).

I'm just not sure if it is good enough to unseat incumbents when there are things like rust with its deterministic memory management or python with all its momentum and compiler technology coming along.

Not sure whether to bet on it at this point.

But it discusses potential for being appealing in the future when things settle down and new features are added.

Also apparently stackoverflow julia questions have clear exponential growth.

Do you see it replacing python for non DS? What is on Julia 2.0?

Does this obviate the issue that one has to assign the definition of meaning somewhere in the graph? ie Meaning is subjective, and it has to be inserted to propagate down.

careful continuing that linear extrapolation...I think it's about to hit a tipping point due to packages and tooling being much better.

Julia can do all that. its also a general programming language

Julia will be a suitable (superior) alternative soon.
