>I do wonder if focusing on doing the very simple things well first (like python does right now), would be a better strategy, or it would just make people ignore the language because the simple things are already covered everywhere and not interesting enough for bringing people (compared to the amazing stuff Julia can do with supercomputers/clusters and state of the art stuff like Zygote). This is just the difficulty of open source. I am a mathematician by trade, so I work on DifferentialEquations.jl, Zygote.jl, new forward-mode AD, and showcase this stuff in neural differential equations as part of my work. While it would definitely be nice if someone focused on startup speeds, it's not going to be the DiffEq/Zygote people, because it's not the stuff that I/we know. Julia has tons of great scientists and mathematicians, so the libraries in that area are pretty fantastic already, but we do need to find some people who know how to write apps and do devops. I plan to actually find and hire some devops people to help out Julia here. Julia has shown from its libraries that it's worth supporting, so now we should tie a bow around it for less hardcore folks.
