Oh wow, another person evangelizing about X obscure language from inside their pseudoacademic ivory tower yet providing no examples of anything useful they've done with it, or anyone has done with it for that matter.

Everytime I see this BS I think of this:

It's fine to say something more reasonable like "I have high hopes for this very early stage language in the future", but this kind of fanfare is the reason why stuff like Java got so big.

I'm not really sure what the point of this post is. Julia is a fun language to play with, it has a great and very helpful community and, in its niche, it's very good. Its creators have been very good OSS citizens and joined forces with IPython.

If you don't like it, don't use, but don't piss and moan about the fact that some people enjoy it.
