Julia has tons of general purpose development going, including an mvc web framework (genie.jl) and a reactive web app framework called (escher.jl)

First, sorry for being a bit heavy on the hyperbole and saying "0%"; that is almost guaranteed to be wrong as a statement and also let me say I don't know Julia very well at all.

I want to clarify that when I say "0% web development going on", I don't mean that scientific programmers don't do web development (they do! a lot!), I meant that people don't pick it those languages in general if they are only doing web development without a numerical/scientific/statistical aspect to it.

What would be interesting is, do you know of any teams or companies using Julia in anger in a non-scientific setting, with programmers from a non-scientific background?

The scientific Python community certainly makes good use of all the Python web tools!, and being a "scientific stack" in no way precludes the need for general purpose frameworks that can also be used by others. It's at least as much about people and community and habits as about the tooling...

I think its just a matter of time before this happens (its mature enough or an important app is released).

Julia is designed for general purpose computing from day one, but this community is not dealing with the same painpoints that scientists have been.

It's catching on among early-adopters in finance. What do you consider that?

Even APL has a couple of web frameworks...

Having a few libraries of each kind (of varying quality and with very small adoption) != tons.
