Thank you! I was not looking for anything in particular. Julia's design is everything I've been craving from a language; good performance seemed too good to be true. Due to never having worked on large systems, my judgement is of limited use. Your feedback convinced me to take a serious look at Julia. Looking into the discussions regarding Julia's implementation (so cool that they are easily accessible on GitHub/Discourse) convinced me to commit to learning it.

EDIT: grammar
