Why do you think it is dead? I have always thought that it is incomplete as a language, just give it time. Swift seems to be my cup of tea after years of Java and Typescript. I would really like to learn about these new features and apply them in a backend scenario. Julia is another language that did not catch up as people expected (especially the data science community) but I enjoy using it for my personal projects, that does not mean it is dead.

Wait what? Julia has been growing very consistently for years now. I don’t think anyone with a reasonably informed opinion thought Julia was going to take over the whole world in the blink of an eye.

It seems to be going right along the lines that most people I know in the community expected.
