This is shockingly good.
Paul Phillips@granitebolshevik It's amazing! Shoot, I'm going to look at Julia just because this guy likes it.
@psp I also like Julia! Look at Julia!
I'm not that guy. I wish I was that guy. I'm just also a person who likes Julia.
@granitebolshevik Okay, I'll look at it because that guy likes it AND because a guy who wants to BE that guy likes it.
@psp It's not programming heaven, but it's pretty close! Like MATLAB minus most of the bad design decisions.
It's very fast, but occasionally asks me to be explicit with types, which I hate because I'm lazy. It also has a library to serve websockets, but not one to receive websockets(last time I checked). So that's the kind of language it is.
Also you can build a Julia cluster really *really* easily.
