I actually don't think it is really that hard... for the most part, Julia
needs better performance and better compatibility in some areas, that
haven't received as much attention as of yet... (strings, decimal floats,
database access). None of these things will take anything away from what

There is a very long list of interesting possibilities in this thread, but
Julia does have a current target audience which it supports with a set of
features that increase their utility. It is going to be tricky for those
guiding Julia to ensure that things like more generality don't reduce the

I took a look and there were pages of issues (including the PhD one.. :)
You seem to have succeeded in making an awesome language. I'm

I'm glad you're enthusiastic about Julia. If you're looking to pitch in, one
good place to look is the list of open issues:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues
If you're most interested in "features," filtering on the "up for grabs" label
might be a good start.

I find your aversion to femtolisp difficult to understand, probably
because I tend to think of Julia as a Lisp with the following key
features:
1) a focus on being heavily optimizable,
2) infix/M-expression-like surface syntax.
But given these two (very important) differences, I find Julia very,

Please: consider the advice given on the issue tracker and try to ask a
small number of specific questions. Also, please search the issue tracker
and mailing list (e.g., the question about assembly language has been
