Well, yes, so maybe 0.x language specifications are not for you. That's not a problem. Pick your battles.

  Not sure why this is being downvoted. As far as I was aware, the point of 0.x language specs was to allow for breaking changes and rapid language development before stable 1.0+ releases. Is there something that I am missing here? I'm not very familiar with Julia, maybe they are handling it differently?

    Yes, I'm kind of curious about the down votes. Not voting at all, sure I get that. But hey, 0.x language spec is communicating up front that there is turbulence ahead, it's just good expectations setting. And as a user, there are times to avoid turbulence, and times to recognize when turbulence is simply the price you pay in return for the benefits of a tool that brings new capabilities. But then it is an ROI question. I totally get that 0.6 Julia may not have ROI for some people. But complaining about a 0.6 language spec having breaking changes.... that's like saying: "Hey, you advertised this candy bar as tasting like chocolate, but I prefer peanuts. I don't like it." Ummmm, yeah....

      Perhaps because all I said was that there are still long list of breaking changes is keeping me from doing more with Julia. I don't find that meaning I am battling anything, just I'm waiting till 1.0
