I'm dismayed that this article portrays Julia so much as my creation and downplays the roles of Jeff and Viral – if anyone deserves the lion's share of the credit for the language, it's Jeff. I'm guessing this happened because I had a publication-quality photo available for use and told a relatable narrative in the interview we did, whereas Jeff stuck somewhat more to technical matters. Oh, and Julia 1.0 hasn't been released yet. We're currently working on 0.3, which should be out in about a month.

You are bold and confident (on the internet, at least), qualities often associated with leadership, which can give the impression that you are the one in charge.

      So how often does a broken cookie give the right fortune?

        Anytime you feel like it.

Wired in inaccurate gloss of complicated technical subject shocker! Seriously, they're like the Daily Mail of Silicon Valley. P.S. well done on the language, sounds interesting.

  You have to give them points for trying though.

The "One Programming Language to Rule Them All" headline was pretty horrible too. I don't hold it against you though, – Julia is an exciting language and I really hope you guys do well.

  I think it was a poor interpretation of: a single language that is good for prototyping and also good for writing performant code.

I'm just loving Julia. Thanks for the work you've put in. What is your timeline for 1.0, if that's on the near horizon?
