Right, but it sounds like you want things to be more predisgested for you than is typical for HN reader expectations, and stated in a way which sounds entitled.
That's no doubt why your comment was downvoted.
Tell me, what do you expect from "Go 1.10 Release Notes"? You'll notice that link it's even less informative than this link to "Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes".
For future reference, here's how to the information you wanted. First, go to the link, which you can see is to github. It uses the standard github layout. On the top is a hierarchical list of names showing "julia" / "NEWS.md". The "julia" is a hyperlink to the github project page.
Click on that and the top says "The Julia Language: A fresh approach to technical computing. https://julialang.org/". Lower down it says "Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic language for technical computing. The main homepage for Julia can be found at julialang.org." If that is not enough information for you, both URLs take you to the language page.
Figuring out what you wished for, from the information given, takes less time then writing your HN comment.
And much less time then it takes to pass on HN cultural norms to new accounts.
OMG why are people so blind and autistic about this. I thought I was helping, both the author and other people who came along. Just sounded entitled. Will try not to make that mistake again. Too many people here unable to take things in a non-autistic way. Ah sorry. You see yet again I have a lot to learn about supposed HN cultural norms. (Sorry, am fed up with people picking on me about this.)
edit: Ahhh hehe I just noticed the title is now "Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes"! When I commented yesterday it was "Julia Lang v0.7" I think. So I've been wondering why on earth the comments about 'Release Notes', and the late commenters must have been wondering why the earlier talk about 'Lang'. So.. there was confusion. That makes more sense of why people were getting weirder and weirder about this—false assumptions. I learnt something, hopefully the people lecturing me about not understanding how HN works learnt something too. Apologies not expected, but that would be lovely. p.s. Yes, the new title is much much better!
This suggests that you did not even click on the link to learn more about the project before complaining about the lack of context.
The practice I try to do in situations like this is not to complain about the problem, but to figure out the solution to my complaint, and post that. For example, you could have written: "The submitter used the wrong title. It should be 'Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes'. Julia is a programming language for technical computing. More at http://julialang.org/"
That would be helping. Complaining about such a basic topic is not helping.
