As someone who’s actually used the language (sigh) the “hype” around Julia is more excitement about a modern language that’s hitting a broad sweet spot in a unique way.

Julia is a delightful combination of ease of use, clarity, and performance. It lets one concentrate much more on the problem at hand than language related boilerplate (I’m looking at you, Rust).

I’m hopeful that Julia will become one of the most used general purpose programming languages in the long run. It’s certainly got what it takes!
