Except for the embedding part, Julia is pretty good for all other purposes already, isn't it? And I say this as someone who is excited by both Red and Julia.

Julia is pretty cool,especially on the numerical side and it does have macros although I bet Red's are more powerful being homoiconic. Julia has a JIT using LLVM which is fast & neat, but it doesn't compile down to a binary exe to my knowledge.
