Not yet, but some kind of demo and an easy installer are definitely on the todo list.

Slow compilation time is actually a great reason for having a REPL. e.g. Clojure and Julia are both REPL-based languages, though both secretly need to be compiled (and do so relatively slowly). In practice you don't notice the compil

Check out Light Table. It has a really interesting architecture specifically designed to support that kind of interactive scriptability / extensibility, and the fact that it's written in a decent Lisp (Clojure) is the icing on the

Yeah, that's exactly right. Static compilation is a high priority though, so it will be possible eventually.

We're actually working on static compilation right now, so that you'll be able to compile Julia code to a small binary and distribute it without the runtime. It should be completed over the summer.

This seems like a mut point.

That's a bit like saying, for example, Python isn't interesting because it doesn't have monads (and they're essential for managing state, or whatever). Different languages have different ways of doing things, and lacking

That's not really a fair statement – plenty of people (me included) find Julia to be a lot of fun. I'd be interested to hear why you think that, though. If the OP is looking for a C++ alternative and knows Haskell, Rust is also an

This is an interesting step, but doesn't actually explain why time is asymmetrical. Ok, so things equilibrate as time moves forwards because they entangle as time moves forwards. But this just shifts the question – why is entanglement
