I don't know lush why lush died, but julia's matlab-like syntax is a big deal for me. Not because I especially like that syntax (although it's grown on my as I've used more julia), but because it's going to be a lot easier to try to get coauthors, students, etc., to use the language and because there's a lot of code relevant for what I do that's written in Matlab, and porting it (hopefully) should be relatively straightforward.
