It's not finally. It's more like, here we go again.
Ideas from Lisp have been creeping into "mainstream" programming languages for decades. As the article points out, Common Lisp introduced multiple dispatch over 40 years ago and now it's finding its way into Julia. There's lots more in Lisp that can still find its way into a modern programming language.
I'm particularly interested in the inclusion of a LispSyntax for Julia that might allow Lisp macros to be written at the LispSyntax level that can then be used at the surface Julia level.
