Very little Julia hype comes from JuliaComputing. The buzz you see is almost all from people who switched from other languages and found that Julia was a gigantic breath of fresh air. I can say that for me, it completely changed my attitude towards programming in general. Before, programming was something I did sometimes as part of my physics research. Now, it’s also my hobby that I probably spend too much time on. It’s hard not to get a little evangelical when you go through a change like this.
