Juliar is not in Debian yet, is it?
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "Juliar":
* Package name : Juliar
Version : 0.0-12
Upstream Author : Andrey Makhanov <andr...@juliar.org
<mailto:andr...@juliar.org>>
* URL : https://www.juliar.org
* License : GNU v3
Section : 1
It builds those binary packages:
Juliar - a new Universal programming language that is cross-platform.
It is a functional OOP programming language with an object structure similar to linux
with ability to move between object of objects via ".." i.e.
Juliar/object/../dir
It can be used for web-development, as a desktop application, and as console
application. It can run in browser (client-side) as well.
The application has a good Network library and has a concept of "universal"
modules which allows one to create a module for example in Python, Ruby, Fortran, or C
and then import it into Juliar.
The Programming Language is fairly new and is currently up to Alpha 12.
Do we need such a young alpha release of a project (the project is just
over a year old based on the GitHub graph), to be packaged in Debian?
Perhaps in experimental, but I am skeptical in releasing this is into
unstable.
Although the application has been packaged before into a private apt repo. It
would be great to make it available to the public.
What would a release in Debian bring in addition to the private apt
repository. Why not just making your private repository public and
provide the software to your community that way? Please be explicit.
I really hope that someone will sponsor the package as the application has been
in development for 1.5 years and has a growing community.

Changes since the last upload:
You should be closing an ITP bug at least [1].

Closing remark:
Why oh why naming a new programming language "juliar", when we already
have the Julia and R languages...
