It would be much more useful to see metrics that aren't cumulative if we're interested in growth.
Cumulative measurements, by definition, will never decrease, even if Julia were to fall in popularity.
I like the language but I can't help but feel it missed the train and that the ergonomics improvements it offers are too small to switch over from Python.
It felt to me like they wanted to be the language for ML/DL, which they haven't achieved. They clearly have been working more towards scientific stuff + ML, all the differential equations and math packages are a testament to that (as well as the pharma stuff with Puma).
I love to see Julia growth, if nothing else by being another Dylan like take on Lisp ideas, with a JIT compiler in the box, and the community keeping the effort to overcome tooling issues despite critics.

indeed; something like an h5-index would be interesting to see.

Depends on which train Julia folks want to board into.

I'm not aware of what the vision is currently tbh
