As an avid user of Julia, I'm going to have to disagree very
strongly with this statement. The language is progressing very
nicely and while it doesn't aim to be the best choice for every

the Julia founders approved that title, we all know how the press
can inflate things, but there was a certain rhetoric that Julia
was creating something super-special that would change everything.
