Just heard about the Julia language and wanted to make sure it's on
everybody's radar:
http://julialang.org
It's the first really decent language designed for scientists. Seems
impressive to me, there's a few Cython features:
- Dynamic typing with optional static types
- Call C directly
And then comes:
- JIT
- Templates
- "Green" threading/coroutiens
- Multiple dispatch (yay!)
- Lisp-like macros and other metaprogramming facilities
- Designed for parallelism and distributed computation
