2023 was a very interest year for me, regarding the use and promotion of the Julia Programming Language.
Here are the three main reasons why.

First, I gave no less than 4 talks (not counting anything in-company).

On 19/January at the JuliaLang Eindhoven Meetup.
I talked about the difficulties of maintaining a large ecosystems of packages.
It was the first time I went to Eindhoven, and I met some great people there.
These meetups are still happening around every 2 months.

I help manage over 50 packages in the Julia Smooth Optimizers organization, and sometimes we have to make a small update to all of these packages. For instance, one of the workflows was updated, or something new is introduced, or the LTS version of Julia changes.
In these situations, our usual approach is to create some script that downloads all of these packages, then apply the change, then creates a pull request with the modifications.
