Always good to attract experts from other languages. I was mainly addressing the claim that Julia core devs like to crap on other languages, not trying to claim that we're experts in every language — obviously we're not. But saying that we're uninterested in other languages or unwilling to learn from them is simply untrue — we're a bunch of huge programming language nerds and we love programming languages, even some of the notoriously flawed ones like C++, Matlab and Perl.
