As a fan of Julia, surprised to see how julialang/julia has so few links. It's a niche language; how isolated it is on this map is maybe not so unrepresentative of the user or developer experience.
- sundarurfriend 2y agoThere's a JuliaLand to the west of the island where julialang/julia is. The fact that julialang/julia ended up near tensorflow and opencv, and actual Julia packages ended up elsewhere, probably reflects a difference between aspirational users and real users: a lot of people who starred the Julia project itself were numeric Python users who were looking for a new Python, but then mostly stuck to Python itself, so their other stars are in the numeric Python land. Those who starred the JuliaLand packages are the actual Julia users who aptly enough ended up near Moleculandia and AstroSpace and Quantumia.
- hatmatrix 2y agoAh I didn't see that. That explanation sounds very plausible.
