Can’t understate this enough. Ultimately there is a trade-off being made between end user applications and numerical computing. Julia is surely superior when it comes to numerical computing. It has a super scientific stack and multi-dispatch means it is easy to mix and match these.

Of course there is no reason why Julia can’t evolve a similarly good ecosystem for webapps and other end user front ends. It is after all a _general purpose programming language_ which happens to have native numerical support.
