It feels a risky proposition at this juncture to go short python. The arguments against/for have been rehashed a million times, the redeeming features of julia have been articulated very cogently...

What has not been accounted for is that the huge community / network effect of the python ecosystem is very far from exhausting itself. If anything, it is just starting as the exponential growth has mostly been the last few years (tautology, he he)

A major investment to eliminate python technical debt would make more sense if things were stagnant and the re-engineering would open up entirely new domains.
