I have said the sentence “you should learn Julia” out loud more than once. I said it because it sounded smart, because the benchmarks looked amazing, and because everyone I followed said the same thing. I never checked whether the advice actually held up for the person I was saying it to.
So this time I went and checked. TIOBE, developer surveys, hiring data, package counts, the Julia community’s own survey. Here is the short answer before we go deep.
Julia is genuinely fast, and it is genuinely good at scientific computing. But for most developers, learning Julia is not the best use of limited time right now. It is a great second language for researchers and simulation people, and a risky first or only language for anyone whose goal is a job.
That is the question this whole article keeps coming back to: Julia is fast. But does that actually make it worth learning?
