Your argument assumes that improvement is equally easy in both systems, which is not the case. The Python ecosystem has a substantial head start, but Julia makes library development much easier – I would hazzard a 10x factor, but it's really hard to quantify. The result is that developer effort is amplified significantly, making it plausible for the newer system to "catch up" faster than you'd expect. I don't really like to look at it so competitively, however. Open source is notoriously not a zero-sum game – everyone wins when there are more good options, whether they are in Python or Julia. |
