Julia is great, but IMO, it needs to reach 1.0 first before making a splash. It would be frustrating if you found your tools developed on v0.4 stopped working on v0.5 released a year later. API/ABI stability is critical to the adoption of new programming languages/libraries.

I've heard they plan to release Julia 1.0 this year. So keep an eye on it.

Yeah, I heard about it from others, too. Look forward to it. Hope the dev team stick to the plan.

Rumor is it's going to be this summer at the annual conference.
