> I'm talking specifically about my outlook on the future of Python, vis a vis my historical experience with how other JIT languages have developed.

But your assessment of the other language you mentioned is several years out of date and made largely irrelevant by the fast pace of progress. Therefore your conclusions about the probable future of Python, which may be correct, nevertheless do not follow.

I was sharing feelings and opinions, when you refer to my "conclusions" you're speaking to elements of the empty set. I get that you're a big Julia evangelist, but if you hope to reach people, you must learn to listen.

How long did it take Julia to solve its warmup issue? The language is about 12, and I last tried in earnest two years ago. So, a decade, give or take? You speak from the top of a mountain, and you say the view is nice. Sitting at the base of a similar mountain, it's the journey that I dread, because Python's recent long-term journeys have been pretty rough. And I'm just not convinced that the destination is so great.
