I have investigated Julia for a while and am exactly holding off starting some major work until 1.0 is in.

Just FYI as noted above, 0.7 is the harbinger of 1.0. It is functionally equivalent to 1.0 except deprecation warning, serving essentially as a migration version. So while not out yet, 1.0 is around the corner!
