#3Wow, congratulations to the Julia team!

#4From the interview with the award recipients:
“A programming language cannot be derived from first principles alone. Language design is applied psychology—the computer program is the ultimate human-computer interface. Sometimes you have to try a design out and see how people interact with it and iterate based on that real-world feedback.”
I wish more people viewed PL like this.

#5what good is philosophy if you choose arrays based on 1?

#6Can't wait for the language to be as widely used as Python or R. Been playing around with it at home since the 1.0 release and it really is a joy to use.

So does:
APL, AWK, COBOL, Fortran, Lua, Mathematica, MATLAB, R, Smalltalk, Wolfram
Because it is Mathmatics and have 1 be based on 0 makes no sense, you then have to switch between the two and it is easy to make a mistake. This is why I don't use Python and Pandas. I got burnt once and that was enough and switched to R. Sadly we are stuck with 0 based array in programming and due to a historical issue.

It's the only sensible choice for a numerical programming language

#9I personally don't like the fact that you have structs but no classes and no instance methods, but I know this is personal and don't want to start a religious war this morning

#10Congrats! JuliaCon 2019 registration also just opened (22 July, Baltimore)
