Julia is a language I love that I don't see myself using sadly. It does some amazing things that leave me shocked, like it can show you the assembly you generate while using a REPL. That's impressive to me. However, I'm not the target developer for Julia.
Edit:
Course after clicking your link, I am wondering how wrong I am since it is still technically general purpose capable. Wow Julia has grown so much!
Out of curiosity, what sort of development do you do? Julia is a very flexible language. The majority of its community is still focused on numerical scientific computing, but it's great for all sorts of usecases these days.
The way I think of it, in order to build a language that was flexible enough to cover all these different weird needs you find in the scientific computing community, they ended up needing to build a general purpose language.
