This is an experiment. I think it'd be really amazing to have weekly updates about what's going on in Julia master, particularly during this crazy 0.4-dev period. So I figured I'd give it a shot. Take a look:
http://thisweekinjulia.github.io/julia/2014/10/10/October-10.html I first tried a post like this two weeks ago over on reddit and it was pretty well received. But I think GitHub pages will make creating these posts much simpler. No, this doesn't replace NEWS.md (that's where I glean a lot of this information from!), and I *really* don't expect folks who are implementing the features and changes to be updating this blog. But I think it'd be great if other folks would help me keep it up-to-date. Pull requests and collaborators are very welcome! https://github.com/thisweekinjulia/thisweekinjulia.github.io
