Is Julia 1.0 still scheduled for approximately Summer/Fall 2017? I really like/liked Julia, but some things breaking between 0.2 and 0.4 made me use it a bit l

  I used Julia a bit in the same time span, and I was frustrated with the breakage, but I also saw a lot of things that clearly needed breaking changes. I'm glad they're happening. Until now, [a, b] meant "concatenate a and b if they're arrays, make a 2-element array otherwise". This struck me as both annoyingly inconsistent and as a failure to think recursively. Now it's always a 2-element array, possibly an array of arrays. And that's a huge change in syntax, and it's for the better. I look at many things in the 0.5 release notes and they're fixes to specific pain points I had. This has me paying attention to the language again.
