As somebody already pointed out bcallah@ was looking more into it but last time I looked (1-2 years ago) it would be a major undertaking both by upstream and the porter. Even on RHEL which is the most widely used OS for scientific computing Julia has to be compiled from the source. What are you trying to do with Julia? If you are just trying to do science it is probably a bad choice. Jeff Bezanson came here to Carnegie Mellon University to give a talk 2 years ago and I was not too impressed (arguably I am more interested in science than in computer language design). They had immense momentum 5-6 years ago but I think the enthusiasm is dissipating at least among scientist. Cheers, Predrag
