I was cheering out loud when I first downloaded Julia and started working with it. The type system, multiple dispatch, so much win! I'm working on ionospheric ray tracing at my day job and would love to use Julia.
But when I can write a nine-line example that produces incorrect output—no thanks. Especially when one of the lead developers (see the linked thread) states that supporting function redefinition isn't needed for v1.0. Clearly these people are working under a very different set of priorities than me.
"The foundation is solid"—I do not think it means what you think it means.
