>>Startup time alone doesn't prevent a system from being useful.
Well, it does not completely ... If I run a simulation that will take 10 hours, 2 seconds is not much at all.
However, it will severely reduce its usefullness in many other cases (quick&dirty scripting, testing)... Just for the record, on an i5 system:
$ time julia --version
julia version 0.3.0-prerelease
real 0m2.156s
user 0m2.119s
sys 0m0.030s
$time julia -e 'println("Hello, world.")'
Hello, world.
real 0m2.119s
user 0m2.074s
sys 0m0.036s
In comparison, starting an equivalent ipython script takes <0.1s on the same machine.
