Julia User and Developer Survey 2019 Results Released
The Julia programming language community has released the results of its first annual User and Developer Survey, conducted in June 2019. The findings were presented by Viral Shah at JuliaCon on July 23. A total of 1,844 participants from over 90 countries completed the survey, providing insights into user demographics, preferences, and challenges. Key technical advantages cited include speed, ease of use, and the solution to the two-language problem, while major drawbacks involve package maturity and initial plot generation times. Most respondents are academics or professionals in fields like data science, engineering, and machine learning, primarily using Julia for research. Popular tools include Plots, DataFrames, and VS Code. The survey highlights a highly collaborative community, with 76% finding it helpful. Demographically, the user base is predominantly male and white, though it spans a wide age range and global distribution. This report serves as a comprehensive overview of the Julia ecosystem's status in 2019, reflecting its growing adoption in scientific computing and industry applications.
