I replied in the GSoC thread, but this is a better thread to have this 
discussion in. Here's what I said:

Thanks to Amit's recent work on MPI.jl and ClusterManager.jl, we now have 
the ability to run MPI libraries and Julia's parallel libraries in the same 
program. Until recently, one could only have one of them, but not both 
simultaneously. 

I think this is important for the development of parallel libraries in 
Julia, where we can use existing MPI libraries where they exist and write 
new ones as needed. PetSc is huge - but we can start chipping away at it 
now.
