So, what do you think of Julia language? It only came out a couple of years ago but it's getting popular.

It is a dynamically typed language but it has a very powerful type system and a JIT, so you can write code that has close to the speed of C code. It has multiple dispatch and with the type system, you can write generic functions really easily. It has lisp style macros, parallelism, and threads. And it can interface with C and Python really easily.

I'm pretty excited for this language. Hoping it will at least replace Python in the scientific community. What do you guys think?

>JIT

i think that means it won't run on my PaX/grsec system.

also i don't see the point in all those new languages.

ITT: Things you don't actually have.

The point is not to fall back to C for even not actual performance intensive things that still rule out CPython and R.

wtf plenty of people here use hardened kernels. it doesn't really make any noticeable changes and vastly increases system security.

~ $ emerge -avp --unmerge hardened-sources 
 * This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
 * `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
 * removing packages.

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

 sys-kernel/hardened-sources
    selected: 3.18.9 
   protected: none 
     omitted: none 

All selected packages: =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.18.9

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

anyway, i'm not a member of the scientific community, i don't know what kind of software they need.

I don't know anything about it.

I haven't really been too interested because of the name. At least Ada made sense.

That's kind of narrow-minded though I just don't have time to learn every new language that comes about.
