Very good to know! I assume Alan is staying on as an MIT professor, evangelizing Julia to bright young MIT students. ;-) What about Keno and Jameson? Digging around shows they are still students (which surprised me a bit... I’ve been very impressed with their comments and contributions). I’d

That’s fantastic to hear, and thanks for the good wishes. We are using much of the already public training material for the most part right now, but we expect to refine it with every engagement, and put out something new as soon as we have something substantially better. -viral On

This is the key question. I will echo Jeff’s sentiment here. There is no ideal job out there where one can work only on julia. Even as researchers, some of us have spent considerable amounts of time writing grant proposals for funding, reports, and such. The language needs to mature

Great! I've been putting together some notes on what I think Julia's security policy *ought* to be at this early stage (right now there is nothing mentioned about security in the manual), and will try to draft this soon as a pull request for discussion. On 05/09/2015 10:06 PM, Viral Shah
