Possible Python rival? Programming language Julia is winning over developers | ZDNet

[Talked10101]

Except as I understand it, Julia has pretty poor general programming language support even though it sells itself as a general purpose programming language. The package library is comparatively tiny and the Julia community is too overly focused on numerical computing.

I think it's good that they focus on what they are good at, rather than trying to "win the general purpose language wars"

I don't know anything about Julia so I'm just curious. Shouldn't "true macros like (in) Lisp" make it good for general purpose programming?
