I didn't misread - I was agreeing with you! :) And disagreeing with the person you were responding to.
Would you be open to doing a Fast.ai initiative in Julia? If so, what would that take?
I would be delighted. I've even spoken to the Julia core team about it. Hopefully one day they'll make that happen! (Just like we developed SwiftAI thanks to support from Chris Lattner and the s4tf team).
