That's mostly because Julia questions get answered on its Discourse or Slack. The sharp decline is due to an automatic cross-post bot that stopped working.

No one bothered fixing it, in great part due to Discourse being the main place of discussion, as far as I know.

Even languages like Python and Javascript who are huge show a decline after 2022 which suggests ChatGPT is probably responsible. It would be better to have some other measure imo.

It measures the proportion of questions for that language out of all languages. So, if there is a general decline in Stackoverflow questions, it’s already accounted for in the metric

There are too many confounding factors still.

Julia users don't go to Stack Overflow because we have better options.

Or thats the LLM/ChatGPT effect. Can see similar downtrends with other languages

Stackoverflow's popularity's decreased a lot, many communities have entirely left.
