Since I stopped using Julia I've kept an eye on the HN Who's Hiring threads for mentions of it. I see one consistent listing from Gambit Research, and occasionally one or two others that come and go. Anecdotal to only sample from HN and not larger listing sites like Indeed etc, but it reinforces my skepticism about industry adoption.

Why'd you stop using Julia?

[tavert]

1. Carelessness, lack of professionalism, and instability from many of the core language and package developers

2. Over concentration of the main contributors within the same startup that has a questionable business model and long-term prospects

3. Language issues that limit the desirability of Julia for use in larger projects

What language did you land on after leaving?

[tavert]

Mix of C++ and Python. They're both kind of awful in their own way, but well-supported and stable.
