Hi. I was reading http://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/:
About two and a half years ago, we set out to create the language of
> our greed. It’s not complete, but it’s time for a 1.0 release...
and it's about two and a half years since then. (So, happy fifth birthday,
Julia? :)
I'd be interested to read the opinions of Julia programmers and developers
as to how they judge the success of their creation so far. I've seen a
number of blog posts and watched the conference videos. I noticed the
growth in Julia users

how is the language being received in industry and education, it being
strong in academe already. Are there plans for a formal 1.0 release or will
it continue to develop incrementally? Have there been rumors of panic at
Matlab HQ or Wolfram Towers?
