I agree about the PoCs stacked on top of each other and the thousands of CS man hours required to transform it, I don’t think I could have said it better.

There’s some really really neat projects in the Julia community though, and some super smart and very hard working people. I’m wondering if some focused effort from the community guided by the stewards of the language may yield promising results? As opposed to letting people that are interested in a topic just naturally contribute?
