'highfalutin ivory tower' is a great name for a band :D

Naturally you are correct and I am wrong to dismiss it as unimportant. What I'm saying is that the majority of R/Python users today are not looking for ultimate speed or sophisticated programming paradigms. Most users are doing the unsexy bread and butter of 'Take some tabular data' -> analyse -> report on it and I want to dismiss the argument of 'users will migrate to Julia because of these nifty features' because it ignores the very reasons the existing users use these tools in the first place. It would be as absurd as proclaiming Excel users will switch to Python because the accounts deparment suddenly cares about NLP.
