What prediction? Maybe I need to rephrase what I said: My prediction is, that if Julia ever wants to have a shot at replacing Python, it absolutely has to solve the first time to first x problem! That's what I mean by shipping fully ahead of time compiled binaries and interpreting more glue code - which both have the potential to solve the first time to x problem.

The prediction I was referring to was the one in the parent comment. (The one I was commenting under)
