Thanks for writing up your experience using Julia for creating a web app.

I agree that Julia is doing well in scientific domains, but is not perceived as a general-purpose language among many developers. Other languages also have rich non-scientific libraries, frameworks, and learning resources.

The scientific domain is vast though, so Julia can certainly thrive in that space. Can it break out of that space into other fields too? It does not seem to have yet, but I guess only time will tell. (Julia recently received multi-million funding so it will be interesting to how this will be used to develop and promote Julia.)
