I share this same concern. I have met some other Julia programmers on the Humans Of Julia Discord (https://humansofjulia.org/) recently who are not from any Scientific background, and their biggest complaint byfar was ecosystem. There are just much less general-purpose projects. But people don't realize how greedy the language is; they really did not sacrifice anything when making the language.

This is why I wanted to make something like a full-stack web-framework. Now in Julia we can create interactive web-apps, and that's something that Python can't even do, that is a very general-purpose concept these days because half of working with data is now putting that data through the internet via http in some form factor.

The modern world of programming is so fascinating in that aspect of all the data being routed somewhere, and really has only been around for 10 years... Anywaay...

Also, I would love to learn more about how how you involved Julia in your IOS app, and just compiling for arm in PkgCompiler, too. Once I get so far with my web-development framework, I think it would really be cool to port it to run natively as many apps are now doing. One app for everything built in one language would be awesome.
