Slots are still mutable, so they don't help with most of those concerns. (also: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/8/16/the-python-i-would-like-to... )

There is no way for us to know if this is only speculation, or an allusion to some encumbered order.

I won't comment on organizations using Julia, but some conclusions can be drawn from the presenters and sponsors at JuliaCon 2015: http://juliacon.org/2015/ Here is a brief list of some major packages that I am aw

MSVC: probably not; Clang's MSVC ABI support is coming along well, but last time I checked there was no COFF support in the JIT. GCC on Itanium ABI platforms should be fine, although mixing C++ stdlib versions would be risky (primarily

There can be one effect during diffusion-weighted scanning, which is muscle twitching due to induced depolarization when the gradients are ramped hard. I've had that happen a few times and it was a fairly weird sensation, but not disco

I see. Indeed, Julia's ecosystem is still quite young. (possibly of interest: a project building a Julia-integrated CAS called Nemo, at http://nemocas.org/ )

People interested in CINT and Cling might also be interested in Cxx.jl: https://github.com/Keno/Cxx.jl . It provides a C++ REPL mode for Julia and integrates Clang with Julia and the LLVM JIT to provide a powerful C++

It is worth noting that Fortran, MATLAB, Mathematica / Wolfram Language are all 1-indexed. These are, by far, the most influential and widely-used languages in numerical and mathematical programming for the past ~60 years.

Qt Creator's gdb integration handles the basics well (I haven't used it with lldb, but lldb supports the gdb MI protocol so it should at very least "work").

I tend to end up writing `Expr` objects directly when I'm building larger macros as I find them much easier to reason about. It's clearly not as convenient/clean as Lisp though. (David Moon actually sent a PR last year to mak
