Julia is somewhere between the first and the second quartile (closer to the first), almost stationary since July, and up from below the first quartile, a year ago (higher being better).
The bottom-left half of the chart is very noisy and volatile, though, so the tiny progression since last summer is still IMO very positive. http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2014/01/22/language-rankings-1-14/ Compare with http://sogrady-media.redmonk.com/sogrady/files/2013/02/lang-rank-Q113-big.png and http://sogrady-media.redmonk.com/sogrady/files/2013/07/programming-lang-rankings-june13.png — Pierre-Yves
