It somehow skipped my radar. Few days ago I've noticed what this language actually is. Since couple of days I'm going through the manual top to bottom (not finished, somewhere in the middle at the moment). This language is beautiful.
I agree, Julia is a nice language, efficient, has a good deep learning library Flux, and calls out to Python easily. I have a tiny repo https://github.com/mark-watson/julia_my_code_snippets were I am collecting how-to snippets for things I do in other languages.
