I really hope people in industry won't act on this date, as it is not nearly firm enough to bet a business on. We already have people writing blog posts about how using Julia for their startup turned out to be a mistake; we really don't need to encourage a new group of people to bet on something that's not 100% guaranteed. Or to use industry language: that date isn't an SLA. -- John On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 7:55:34 AM UTC-7, Chris Rackauckas wrote: > > This information is hugely beneficial in science/mathematics, especially > for a PhD.
