The founders of Julia do have financial interest though! I think they're part of Julia Foundation. Same people wrote the marketing material I presume.

- ChrisRackauckas 6y ago> The mission of The Julia Foundation is to provide assistance to those in need while creating awareness of the power of art to heal and inspire. http://www.thejuliafoundation.org/ http://www.thejuliafoundation.org/ I didn't think they were, but now it makes sense why Jeff Bezanson's voice is so soothing.
- StefanKarpinski 6y agoOut of curiosity, what marketing material are you referring to? I.e. what is it that you find misleading, specifically? If anything, I feel that the Julia website and manual focus more on technical computing than they ought to and could stand to spend more time on general computing matters for which the language is also well suited. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post entitled “Julia is a General Purpose Language” for a long time. Which I suspect you would take issue with, but that’s ok.
