>BTW, when Julia upgrades to v0.5, v0.6,..., v1.0, is this book still valid?
Well, I am hoping that the book gets thinner and thinner :) But seriously, some things are going to be universal.. the tooling, type stability, contiguous array dimensions etc. There are core characteristics of the language, or in some cases, core characteristics of modern CPU/memory design. Things which are more in the nature of performance "gotchas" will reduce as the language evolves. So in the book, I already mention that the section on anonymous functions will be redundant in 0.5. Overall, I feel that the book will certainly be fully relevant in the 0.5 timeframe, and will continue to be useful beyond. In the long term, I am open to updating it with further editions, but that depends a lot on the publisher.
