The author of this tool commented below; Julia simply wasn't included in the list. Plugging it in gives it quite a high score compared to other languages (top ten in 2/3 categories).
Anecdotally, I feel like I see article "on" julia at least as often as rust on HN. I totally expected it to come "second" on most categories, and was very surprised not to see it there.
Then I realised that most julia articles would rarely introduce the julia component as "in Julia"; certaintly not in the same way that people tinkering with rust would be keen to report it as such. If anything I have noticed that most articles on Julia tend to be a bit backdoorish (i.e. the title is on, say, differentiation, but then you go to the article and it's basically an article about julia).
So I think it's just a side-effect of the methodology used to rank languages; not sure if it reflects actual market-share or the result of a vocal community engaging HN specifically, but julia definitely has a much stronger presence on HN than implied by this tool/article.
