So, is it doing type inference, or is it weakly typed? I don't know. I mean, if Julia works for you, that's great. But it seems a bit awkward to me, and until now (and even now), there was the array indices elephant in the room (it's the Lua problem: Even if you support zero-based arrays, it's not supported by convention). As a Scheme/Lua/JS/Python/Ruby/C/Whatever else programmer (I don't know them all well, but I like to keep my hand in), I just don't see what Julia gets me. But that's just me.

A combination of type inference, just in time compiling and multiple dispatch. The function is compiled at run-time if the signature is not already compiled. I've not really found the 1 index much of a problem, makes translating other code a bit awkward. The new dynamic indexing scheme (0 based, -10 based, whatever) seems interesting. What Julia gets me is a stats / machine learning environment I had to awkwardly program in Octave.

  Neat. Like I said, I don't think I'll be picking it up, but I'm glad it works for you.
