I'd like to add a note about my experience with doing this; I ended up forking Distributions.jl and added a fitting function for the Weibull distribution. Still need to clean it up and do a pull request,.

The amazing thing about Julia I've come to enjoy is how clean the source code, how easy it is to find functionality, and it's all written IN Julia. That means I can modify libraries that are normally C or C++ for perf reasons. It's changed the prospect of needing to add functionality from one of hesitation to feeling that it's actually enjoyable.

I'm really glad to hear this! I'd like to think that the community and inspectability argument for Julia is actually one of the strongest ones out there, but it's not easy convincing people who haven't had that experience.

It really is pretty great.
