No, mostly because it's not done yet and only experimental right now.

In that case, sorry for the inaccurate statement.

However, go to my original comment and replace "third party" with "it's not done yet and only experimental right now" and the meaning stays the same... :)

Indeed, but it shows that it has moved up a notch and people are taking it more seriously now. The biggest issue is that all of the compiler guys have thus far been working on making breaking changes to the language. Once v1.0 is out (alpha is already tagged! Features are frozen!), then they will have some open hands :).

I guess my comment was a sign of Julia moving to the big leagues now. Expectations are high :)
