Great read:

Picking some elements from Julia might take lesser time..

I pick on at a first look:

1. Express: http://bogumilkaminski.pl/files/julia_express.pdf
    Quick deep dive in 1 hour..!

Also: http://forio.com/labs/julia-studio/tutorials/advanced/1/ .. cool
collection of tutorials following it just teaches everything about Julia
gripping one like a fiction novel..

2. Data Frame: http://www.r-tutor.com/r-introduction/data-frame

3. Single package.. : all of these, perhaps auto pulls in four packages..
"reading a delimited file / xls into an array, reading a delimited file/
xls into a DataFrame and accessing databases using ODBC."
readdlm, readcsv: read from file..
writedlm, writecsv: read from file..

4) Readability of a whole file:
     Remember Peter Deutsch's comment over a dinner: Smalltalk does not
have readability over the whole class in one go..
     Now if we can also have a display in our Nautilus browser of the whole
class in one read only browse mode with all methods as in Julia:

   // all variables
   classVariables =   classVar1 , classVar2...
   instanceVariables =  instVar1 , instVar2 ..

    // all class side..
    class function  init()
              ....
     end

     //all instance side
     function inst1()
              .....
      end


  **  Easy interface with C / Fortran /  Python.. pyplot for instance.. and
JavaCall with in proc JVM..
