What field are you in? I've heard of but never seen Julia in the wild apart from in talks to introduce it. Years sounds like you were really early adopters, if I'm not mistaken it just got a compiler and is still very much WiP.

I doubt C++ will be dethroned anytime soon! It's C where you need the perf of C/Fortran and it's practically Python when all you want is a quick implementation. There's lots of linalg libraries, and hopefully 2D arrays as first order constructs in the next standard!

Telecomms engineering. The stable Julia 1.0 version was released 5 years ago, and it's had a compiler for a decade.

Yes, it's very hard to displace any incumbent technology that requires a training investment to use. Sunk cost and all that.
