Julia is a language that was developed by academics, with not the best aesthetics in the implementation. I see a lot of value in starting with a clean, well engineered layered approach. If anything this is something I would expect Lattner to be able to deliver, whereas Julia while certainly powerful is tremendously messy.

Python was also developed by academics.
