I've been using Julia a little while now for my scientific work, and I have to say, it is a very well-designed language. I remember reading a few days ago on HN another user commented that he thought it was the best-designed language after Clojure. Not to mention it's much easier for people used to conventional programming languages to pick up and get started with.<p>I was actually thinking this would be a great language to use for web development; it's just that no one's developed a really good framework for it yet.
