Julia is extremely focused on data science and scientific computing. Most of everyone using it is concerned about things like ML libraries, dataframes, matrices, etc. it’s not that Julia couldn’t be a good general purpose language, it’s just that it’s not the focus. Compare that to the JVM for example, which is mostly focused on servers serving requests. Also, it’s pretty clear from the existing Julia libraries and homepage that serving requests isn’t what’s important to them.
