I actually don't think it is really that hard... for the most part, Julia needs better performance and better compatibility in some areas, that haven't received as much attention as of yet... (strings, decimal floats, database access). None of these things will take anything away from what what the core team wants to achieve for their "target audience", and they can get unpaid (by them) help willing to work hard on improving those areas... (it's called enlightened self-interest ;-) ).
