I mentioned Julia as a good alternative to Ceylon language in their forum
(for linear algebra).
First of all, I assume you could call Ceylon (in theory at least, or vice
versa, I don't know to much about Ceylon). And second, I'm not sure I agree
with the responses I got. It seems they (or I?)
None of those are particularly good reasons. It boils down to Julia
doesn't do Java-style OO well, but believe it or not Java-style OO isn't
the only way you can build a large program.
To take a couple of specific points as examples, you can use composition
Oh, man. Suggesting a different language on a language's mailing list –
that's throwing down the gauntlet! I think I'll write a reply on the ceylon
list about some of the factual claims about Julia.

Julia
Note, I said I know. You may know more languages. Wander what the top 3
are (if Julia isn't top 1).
Still, languages have died out (mostly) and I think we need fewer
languages, not more.
I do not see a good reason for C++ any more (is the exception handling in
Julia as least as good as
I think we need more languages if only because I think we've barely started
to explore the programming language design space – it's a very non-convex
optimization problem. Sure, some languages are close to local optima, but
you never know what's going to happen when you start combining things in
and in support of Stefan's language/software observations, the hardware
aspect is nearly as important,
but perhaps more subtle ...
AMD and ARM are committed to the HSA movement (bit.ly/1E2mOWq) recognizing
that CPUs, GP/GPUs,
FPGAs and perhaps other new SoC developments will increasingly
