The release notes for Julia 1.0 are rather empty at the moment. However, one may refer to the release notes of Julia 0.7 (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/release-0.7/NEWS.md) which was released earlier today. Julia 1.0 is basically the same as 0.7, except that all deprecated syntax/features have been removed.

The software release of the year, easily.

What an incredible journey the team has had this far. A very approachable group of people involved with the project have tirelessly given their work to the Julia language and finally, FINALLY the 1.0 is ready for consumption.

As if I wasn't psyched for this weekend enough already!

Having never used it, I wonder, could Julia replace Python as the de-facto standard in scientific computing and data analysis? What does it do well?

I thought that was what R was meant to do?

But, yes, Julia was designed with something like that in mind from what I recall.
