Not seeing a prompt. It might be because of the internal "POST http://forio.com/julia/repl/sessions 503 (Service Unavailable)" error?

Probably got "slashdotted".

It's really easy to try Julia by just downloading it: http://julialang.org/downloads/.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Julia is the future of technical computing. We've just started pulling together a BioJulia team - if anyone is interested drop an email (in profile).

Any reasoning behind such a generically bold statement?

Honestly I'm convinced it's a lot more generally applicable than scientific computing. Much of heavy lifting I had to do in C, I can now do in Julia with nearly the same speed and efficiency. Plus, for a lot of the problems I would have chosen Python, Ruby, or even Clojure for, I could really see myself using Julia now.
