I, for one, much prefer tons of bugs if that's what's necessary to keep the language evolving. I like the fact that powerful features are rapidly being added to the language, even if it breaks backward compatibility. Most of my programming is scientific in nature, so I write lots of one-off scripts. "Fixing" these scripts for the newest version of Julia rarely takes more than a few minutes.

Considering that Matlab, which is supposed to be a stable platform, seems about as buggy as Julia with a lot of regressions, API changes, and new bugs every release, I, too, prefer Julia, as it's not only a nicer language with better programmer and execution efficiency, but it's also open source.

I'd rather try to fix a bug in some undocumented codebase than wait 6 months for a new black box.
