This post overlooks that language adoption is something that happens over decades. It's much too early to conclude anything about Julia adoption. I also think there's way too much focus in the post about Julia taking share away from Python or R. The real market is Matlab programmers, for one and only one reason - Matlab is extremely expensive. A number of years ago I was talking with a vice president of one of the Federal Reserve banks that told me one of their priorities was to move away from Matlab due to the high and growing licensing costs. The New York Fed has in fact moved much of its code from Matlab to Julia: http://frbny-dsge.github.io/DSGE.jl/latest/ http://frbny-dsge.github.io/DSGE.jl/latest/ Julia has momentum in parts of economics that have traditionally been heavy users of Matlab: https://quantecon.org/ https://quantecon.org/
