I just took the time to read the release notes <https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/NEWS.md#julia-v050-release-notes> more carefully, and I just want to congratulate everyone involved on a fantastic list of improvements. I've been away from the community for a little while, and expected 0.5 to be basically just the breaking array changes, but there's lots of goodies here.
