I have done a few intro repl type things and I have to say I am very
impressed. Closures, anonymous functions, default values, named function
parameters,macros - lots of really great high level features that runs
pretty fast.

I know it originally was math oriented, but apparently some work has been
done so its getting to be usable for systems programming like Go.

I am in CS 478 and am doing the projects in node (because I am weird) but
am really contemplating switching over to Julia for it as a good learning
exercise.
