This is what I was responding to. The grandparent argued that Julia had less library support than R and Python because, so they implied, those languages could interop with C/C++ in a way Julia can't.
The two language problem refers to code in user space, anyway. It's not like Rust, where there are so many wheel-reinventing projects in progress. If you peruse the main Julia package registry, and you'll see plenty of library-wrapping modules.
