> Julia has a big future ahead of itself in the military and government.

Hmm, curious, why would that be? Or rather, what are the features that make you think Julia has that other languages and technologies don't have that would be killed in military and government?

I work within that area and if anything the military and government love their red tape, certifications, protection profiles, rubber stamps that it would seem like the last industry to jump on a new and largely yet unproven language. You wouldn't believe the number of Windows XP and RHEL 4 and 5 servers still running.
