If possible, it might be helpful to share a little detail on how it happened. You can imagine that it did happens signals at the very least that someone with power/influence got this post out there in the first place.

They've agreed to deprecate the program but once the post was out and got terrible feedback, they realized that deprecating a developer program is not the best idea for something like GitHub, let alone announcing it as such. So instead of admitting they've made a mistake in deprecating the program, they're blaming the messenger and pretending it never happened. They went as far as getting the archive.org pages blacklisted/hidden apparently, which shows somewhat clearly the mindset involved.

You can use Python, C and Fortran code from Julia. More importantly package development is much faster in Julia than in Python. Which means the speed of which packages get added to Julia is much faster than Python.

And here is the kicker: Packages is Julia are far more interoperable than in any other eco system I have seen.

Than means 10 packages in Julia can quickly do more than 50 packages in other language. Say somebody makes a GPU processing package and somebody else makes a Machine learning package. They don't know about it each other.

Yet with Julia we frequently see that these guy can use each others package. The ML package can with little effort run on a GPU by including a GPU package even if it was never designed for it.

Julia just moves way faster than the competition and that is why Julia is NOT doomed.

Maybe you guys would like to compare your text editors now?
