But what about nested pattern matching, or destructuring, isn't that much 
easier in Mathematica than Julia?  For example defining a function of two lists 
by
f[{w_,x_}, {y_,z_}]:=x y/(w+z).

I remember reading the Julia manifesto a few years ago, where the stated goal 
was to create a single computing language that would replace Fortran, scipy, 
Mathematica, Matlab, etc. simultaneously.  I thought at the time that it 
sounded nuts. 

Can we all agree now that it was, in fact, nuts?
