Julia v1 was released in 2018. It's currently about as popular as elixir. Is the author really complaining that it hasn't over taken as the lingua franca in two years? Python is over 20 years old and it's only hit it's stride in popularity over the last 5.

Actually, Python came into TIOBE Top 10 in around 2004. So it took more than a decade for it to became decently popular; your point still stands.
Exactly!! Much too early to draw conclusions. Look at Go, it having a decent measure of success today. A couple of more years in the market makes a big difference.
