I'm following this list as a prelude to jumping into actually learning and coding with Julia. An impression I get from perusing the daily digest is that there are still a lot of design issues and implementation issues still afloat. Is that a valid impression or am I just too impressionable? :-)
If it is valid then perhaps some more settling time is in order before pushing it outside a small community of contributes and testers. I know I have considered that myself when thinking about getting started. If one has to search a mailing list to find out how it works and how that evolves I consider it too soon in the game for me. Having said that, I've mainly used C, Matlab, and APL and find Julia incredibly seductive.
