Yes, it's quite cool. The specification is a literate Julia program and the specification document is built from it. Simultaneously, they run large scale simulations to make sure that the specification behaves as the theory says it should. There was some discussion with them about deployment, and they funded us for a proof of concept Julia-to-C compiler, but the continuation of that discussion is probably still a num…
Having read a little about TLA+ recently, I'm curious about how specifications are written in Julia. (For example, is there model-checking involved?)
Slides here: http://juliacon.org/2015/images/juliacon2015_moss_v3.pdf
I'm not sure I buy the notion of, "Solves the two language problem." There is always going to be some library or environment consideration that makes a unified language for everything impractical (unless your entire business runs on an AS400).
Any suggestions for learning Julia (detailed projects to follow) for fluent pythonistas?

Personally, I enjoyed reading the manual when I learned it. But I realise that it isn't for everyone.

https://juliacomputing.com/products/ - JuliaPro is the go-to product for anyone who wants to use Julia – professionals, engineers, software developers and data scientists. Beginners and experts can build better software quicker and dramatically improve performance. - JuliaRun is for scalable deployment of Julia in production for real time analytics and large-scale parallel simulations in the public cloud or a private…
Answering the actual question: JuliaPro is basically VisualStudio Express vs. Pro (e.g. there's a free version and then an expensive version with better integrations, better enterprise level tools, etc). JuliaRun is basically a cloud service (e.g. charge for hosting) designed for julia code. JuliaBox seems to be a cloud IDE / google docs / notebook style product. Probably with a similar model to github eventually (e.…
- JuliaRun is for easily scalable deployment of code, either for cloud or local servers.
- JuliaBox is as you say, available here https://juliabox.com/
- JuliaFin is completely separate, and currently consists of Bloomberg integration and the Miletus contract specification and pricing package.

That's an impressive amount of money to raise in Seed funding. Here in the UK this is more like Series A money: a Seed round would probably be around $700K (no authoritative source - purely from knowledge of a few companies raising this kind of money). I do wonder though: have Julia been able to raise this much money thanks to awesome traction or the reputation of the team?
We are self-funded and have been profitable from day one. [2]

Seed round 2016 average is around $1m per Crunchbase:

Cooley has seed round pre-moneys at $4-6m. (Thus, a $5m check is pretty much out of question at that stage.)

So, this is much more like a Series A? I wonder if they were advised to call it seed funding to leave open the possibility of a "big" Series A, due to the level of interest. It does seem like SV VCs are making somewhat large bets on F/OSS-based companies, so maybe that is wise.
I also realize a lot of this is semantics.

- 1-based indexing instead of 0-based
- end keyword vs significant whitespace blocks (and no colon to start a block)
- function instead of def (or defined inline f(x) = ...)
- x -> ... instead of lambda x : ...
- start:stop/start:step:stop instead range(start,stop)/range(start,stop,step)
- strings are joined with * instead of +
The actual internals, and features such as types and multiple dispatch can make it a very different to use, but hopefully that should be enough to get you started.

It's a little sad when we are trying to figure out how to make money for free software and the answer ends up being "sell (some) software non-freely". Okay, so it's impossible to make money without selling non-free software? There can only be one Red Hat in the world?
I don't think it's any consolation that you are also producing free software; pretty much every major software vendor nowadays does that while keeping all the interesting secret sauce secret.

So, not more money for the same stuff, but more money for a lot more other stuff. Some of these components are proprietary, but many are open source.
