Instead of settling on a single "Why Julia", perhaps there should be a page
on the new julialang.org that includes testimonials like this from
different people using Julia.

in support of "Why Julia", it seems that fact that Julia is attracting some
of the best

displayed
prominently ...

Concerning Juliabloggers, I regularly look at this page, but don't find it

lack of content, but mostly because of how it is organised.
Personally, I'd be very happy to

Note that the framework is in place via juliabloggers.com. If someone
wanted to pick up this task, but didn't want to dedicate creating a blog,
I'm willing to create an author account to post directly.

Your "Why Julia" section is really fantastic.

It might be nice to have a few examples of workflows that people who use

As always in Julia (and OSS in general), I think the problem is that there's no
labor supply to do most "nice" things for the community. Everybody would love
to see weekly updates. Not many people have both the time and desire to do the
work.

We can add a bullet point about Julia not eating your laundry. My point of

One thing that I would very much appreciate is some kind of development
schedule. For example
- Some kind of general roadmap
- a plan for when 0.4 and future releases will come
- Any plans to switch to a regular schedule? (yearly, six
months, ...)
- What features remain before a 1.0

I think the typical scientific user will want to see immediately how to

3. plot something.
4. make a function.
That is a basic fooling-around paradigm. Having a plot in the browser will
The Rust site is very nice – although I do feel that it has too little
content on it and feels like a landing page that you just have to click
through to somewhere else from. I can see having something like the Rust

The Python web site: "Python.org" is pretty well organized. It has quite

Perhaps not now, but as a long-term goal, having a live, editable widget of

Seeing code examples of a type and a couple of functions that use it would
probably give a good idea of what the code looks like. The JuMP seems
exciting enough to highlight both as a package and a use of macros.
