thanks for the answer Keno. i guess an example Stream 1 product is Pumas. i didn't realize it's a separate product from Julia. my background is in finance and i am curious if you have any plans to break into that domain (examples on your website include julia language use)

My own view is that Julia Computing is distinguished a bit by a more product focus.

It's a bit less of a pure language / infra play and more a product play. Ie, docker / containers was almost a pure infra play in the end. These guys make actual things you can use.

The later sells better into business I think and is less likely to be competed against. Google / AWS et al are generally pretty quick to compete on the infra play level.

lol doesn't this create perverse incentives - i.e. you're incentivized to actually make Julia slower sine it'll lead to being able to charge more for compute :p

The product is not the programming language. As addressed in there and on this board, there's a healthy set of products around pharmaceutical modeling and simulation (Pumas-AI, adopted by groups like Moderna), a cloud compute service JuliaHub, multi-physics simulation tools (JuliaSim), and upcoming verticals like JuliaSPICE for circuit simulation. Each of these themselves are entrants into billion dollar industries with tools that are, in some cases, already outperforming the current market leaders in computational speed and are quickly getting modern reactive GUIs. The Julia part is simply that it was founded by the creators of the Julia programming language and this stack is then (of course) built in Julia, leveraging all of its tools to reach these speeds. But the product is not the language itself.
