Will it continue development? I'd hate to write a whole suite of software in a new language that no one else will use because the language goes obsolete. My sense is that this is a labor of love as well as necessity, and the folks behind Julia are in it for the long-haul. This is also not their first rodeo: several core folks were involved with StarP from Interactive Super Computing. The highly-active community is probably (at very least) 60-strong and growing quickly (based on 10+ core commits, or active package contributions). Many more people who have made contributions or pinged the list keep coming back intermittently, and I think it is safe to assume that semi-active/patiently-awaiting-something users number in the low hundreds (based on thousands of downloads). What's with this weird confusion with tuples and arrays? It seems like there's some situations where these things have overlapping purposes. Tuples have been sort of ugly stepchildren, but there is a pending pull request to be merged after 0.2 release which will give tuples a massive upgrade (performance boosts and use as SIMD vectors, among other things).
