Not enough adoption in the industry.

More people use it for data science in the industry. Currently people
mostly use python (numpy, scipy), with a few trying out julia and even go.

Better packaging and dependency management (indestructible

Easier graphics (documentation and examples; default go-to option, whether

Better marketing.
