Some extracts from the survey:

- 1329 online interviews from Julia users (May-July)

- Julia use: 85% in 2022, 88% in 2023

- Users plan more Julia and Rust

- Popular technical features: speed, performance, open source, package manager, multiple dispatch, solve two lang problem, composable

- Most popular non-technical features: free, active developers

- Biggest technical problems: no self-contained binaries, slow compile times

- Julia adoption: not enough Julia users

Is there text form?



Thanks for sharing!

"Did this have good enough coverage in the EU, especially the conclusion?"

From the Guardian report:

> "The joint investigation by the Guardian, German public broadcaster ARD/NDR/Funk and Greek investigative outlet Solomon, in collaboration with Forensi" (Forensis is a Berlin-based research agency which investigates human rights violations)

Try nitter.net:

So, how does it work without an API?



They use the Twitter internal GraphQL endpoints.


"Considering that the Zig Software Foundation not only doesn't have any big corporate backing, but also made an explicit point of always being fully independent"

Zig has a VP of Community and it's important how the role promotes and evangelize the language for developers. Another example: Crystal appointment a new Community Manager recently, and now have developer "ambassadors" - to promotion the Crystal language. It's a shame that Nim has no equivalent role or initiave to grow the language community.


That also ties into governance. The VP of Community position exists because the creator of the Zig programming language decided to create a non-profit corporation for the language as soon as he went full time with it, and then made the VP of Community position be the first hire.


The Context Free YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@contextfree/videos) has a lot of interesting programming languages and interviews. It's a shame that the Kickstart conference was unsuccessful for funding.

I can see why single programming language conferences are often popular. But is a "Programming Languages Festival" too broad for a conference? Are attendees mostly from academic interest?
