Did #julialang end up kinda stalling or at least plateau-ing lower than hoped?

I know it's got its community and dedicated users and has continued development.

But without being in that space, and speculating now at a distance, it seems it might be an interesting case study in a tech/lang that just didn't have landing spot it could arrive at in time as the tech-world & "data science" reshuffled while julia tried to grow ... ?

Can a language ever solve a "two language" problem?

Julia was my scripting and util programming language of choice for a while. But it couldn't keep me. I'm not too confident in the reasons anymore, it's been quite a while ago. I think the dynamic, unsafe aspect was a part of it, but also how it felt overall, or with code structuring?

Maybe I've been pulled away by better alternatives. (Using C# also for smaller util projects.) Recently, I've been using Nushell for scripting, which is new syntax to learn, but I've been enjoying functionality-wise.
