>I don't understand why it's not possible. You're asking if it's possible in the language. I don't see anything stopping you from, as you say, writing your own framework, or simply doing it in TF. Perhaps my ignorance of Julia is showing :)
It's not that it's not possible. Yeah, you could always "write your own framework".
It's that it's not readily available by the language, ready-made to compose, without resorting to external libs on C/C++/Fortran, and so on.
So, "not possible" not in the sense that "it's not possible to write a program that solves the halting problem". More like "it's not possible to write a web app in assembly". Which means, yeah, it's possible, technically, but you wouldn't like it, it would be full of holes, a pain to maintain, and not a good time investment.
