Hi Andrei,

I don't think julia-mode.el has been superseded in any way. There was
talk about integrating the functionality in julia-mode and ESS, see

https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues/119

This would be very nice, since julia-mode has some nifty Julia-specific
features, like LaTeX-symbol replacement, but at the same time has no
REPL functionality. Currently I just use ESS for everything, since I
really need interaction with the REPL and I don't know any other way to
do that.

Best,

Tamas
