I would really love to see what happened since the article, since I, personally, stopped using Julia around the same time (unrelated to the article) and only followed the announcements (e.g., of hitting the 1.0 milestone). I would love to know if the outside view ("it improved / matured a lot") is the true story.

Julia seems to be quite different. I will say "seems" since it can be hard to find someone who's been around since v0.4: most people joined the community long after. 2016 had a "third generation" of Julia developers join in, and there's a been a boom in the package ecosystem around that with high retention rates from GSoC.
