Re: Static, Ahead of Time Compiled Julia
#2Julia is really following Lisp and Dylan's footsteps!
Congratulations to all involved in pushing the actual state of dynamic languages.

#3I personally find the syntax of the language and quality of the current implementation (speed!) excellent. However, it doesn't experience the marketing languages like Rust or Golang receive.
What I personally also find worrisome is the perception (at least for me) that Julia is confined to scientific computing whereas I find it should really be a general purpose language.

It is intentional. Julia could be the new Fortran like Rust could be the new C++.

#5> Julia Computing carried out this work under contract from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU APL) for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to support its TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) program.
It's great! Looks like a very interesting contract.

#6Julia seems like an almost perfect MATLAB replacement. (for my personal preference, I would like a slightly more static/rigid language, but I understand why that's not the right choice for Julia's target users.) There is just one problem... I really, really wish they had dropped the 1-based indexing and <= upper bound on index ranges. It is so annoying.

I am all for replacing Python with Julia.

#8I think this [0] is worth reading before starting a project in julia (it's quite shocking). Does anyone know if anything has changed in julia's development process over the last year?

"I really, really wish they had dropped the 1-based indexing and really? There are quite a few things I don't like about julia, but using 1-indexing and "end" makes implementing algorithms much clearer IMHO.
The main pain points for me in julia are the module/pkg system and that the runtime is not just batteries but more like 10 generators included i.e. it could be way more minimal. But I get that the goal is to have a powerful scientific computing language and not to build a multipurpose language that emphasizes modular construction of code units and production ready package and build management utilities.
All in all, when judged by how well julia achieves its self-stated goals, I think it is excellent.

With 1-based array indexing? Very unlikely.
