So, Julia is not what we need? ;) Besides this contradiction I'm not entirely convinced that we need one language to rule them all. I'm not even sure I want multi-paradigm languages (C++ anyone?). Aren't the problems explained in the introduction of this article not caused by the tools instead of the programming languages? I don't see how using multiple languages complicates patching (unless the article is talking about monkey patching which I doubt), but I would understand how going through 4 different debuggers could drive you crazy. Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with Julia and I will not judge it based on a Wired article.
