It's unclear what ranking you're referring to here. Regardless, I think it would best to stop putting forth these "Julia vs. X" kinds of comparisons. Julia doesn't need to beat every language in every way – looking at this as a zero-sum competition isn't particularly healthy or productive. We're in the midst of a wonderful renaissance for programming languages where people are exploring new designs for solving really hard, unsolved problems. Their successes are not our losses – they are successes for everyone, including the Julia community.
