1. I think the default is to use OpenBLAS on all platforms, but this can be swapped out if you'd like to use a different BLAS implementation. 2. I believe it already is. The core language certainly is, the rest is just a package ecosystem issue. We have database packages, graphics packages, web/internet packages, etc. - a good sign that it is "general-purpose". 3. I imagine use of the GPU in core Julia is a long way off or ever - but I'm sure there will be more and more packages that do clever things in this area. There certainly is a lot of interest in this area. We have CUDA and OpenCL packages for now, at least.
