Out of curiosity: Do you think Julia is not a Lisp, or that Julia doesn’t work?

I know Julia was originally a Lisp and it incorporates a lot of Lisp ideas, but I've never used it so I have no opinion about how well it works.

Lots of Lispers consider Javascript a (primitive) Lisp because it has lexical closures, but I think its syntax is horrible and thus (IMO) it doesn't "work."
