Great blog post! Nathan also gave an excellent talk at JuliaCon this year about building and distributing Apple App Store apps in pure Julia:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSp6d3qSb3I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSp6d3qSb3I</a>
That was a great read! I always love seeing people writing DSLs in Julia, even if it’s just for fun.<p>Was there anything that you found to be surprisingly challenging, or was it mostly straightforward?
Neat, but..<p>> Cause it turns out, hey, a join is really simple! All it's doing is basically computing the Cartesian Product of your two tables, and then filtering out rows based on how you specified the query. No big deal.<p>Was this a simplification or that's how you think JOINs work? In either case, it's an extremely misleading statement.
Very cool work!<p>Do you think it's likely someone will eventually write a full database system in Julia?<p>It'd be kind of crazy do do it I'm such a high level language, but I wonder... It seems like Julia is pretty fast and capable.
