I like this "language of libraries" story that the compiler developers have really been pushing towards. You can argue between Julia/Python/MATLAB/R which of the interactive scripting libraries you like to use libraries from, but that's missing the point: Julia's main asset is that it's great for writing libraries. This focus on package compilation, output to WASM, and integrating Julia packages into Python/R workflows allows one to use Julia as a high productive C++ replacement, which IMO is where it does best. I think the next phase of Julia will be about sharing its unique libraries through these bridges, making it be a tool that both acts like Python and like C++ in modern workflows.
