I just might be missing something with the newer languages. Or maybe you should focus on a specific problem that you need to solve and work on that, in Julia or some other language, whatever works for you. Pondering about languages in the abstract is possible and sometimes necessary, but requires a lot of experience and knowledge about various languages, both in breadth and depth. From your questions on this mailing list, you seem to be very interested in these topics, which is fine, but if you lack a specific problem and are just interested in programming languages, maybe then you should focus on learning a few of them in depth. Start with SICP, then learn Haskell, Common Lisp, etc. Julia seems to be developing into a great language, but I am not sure it is the right one for you at the moment (I am not saying it isn't, just that from your questions here it is hard to tell).
