I've been following Julia for a while now, not really using it, but playing with it a bit and keeping up with it. I think it's very promising and I really look forward to seeing it fledged out more.
It's a very small nitpick, but I wish Julia had a postfix function application syntax. It would be nice to be able to say `foo = 'hello'.reverse` and have it be syntactic sugar for `foo = reverse(hello)`. Or some other operator since `.` is in use. This reads nicer for long function chains, and especially when a function modifies its argument, it's nice to have that argument come first, which gives an OO-impression. E.g. for me this:
app = make_app(options)
app.route("/", _ -> "hello, world!"),
app.route("/submit", POST, req -> "hello, $(req.params["name"])!")
app.start(3000)
than this: app = make_app(options)
route(app, "/", _ -> "hello, world!"),
route(app, "/submit", POST, req -> "hello, $(req.params["name"])!")
start(app, 3000)
