Yeah I often describe Julia as a Lisp in sheep's clothing.

Or as the m-Lisp promised to us :) I chuckled when I read:

> The way that common Lisp systems produce executable binaries to be used as application deliverables is by literally dumping the contents of memory into a file with a little header to start things back up again.

Which is pretty much of Julia's sys-/pkgimages work. Pkgimages are an incremental variation on this idea.

One of the novelties in Julia is the world-age system and the limits on dynamisim it introduces on eval.
