Great read:

Picking some elements from Julia might take lesser time..

I pick on at a first look:

1. Express: http://bogumilkaminski.pl/files/julia_express.pdf
������ Quick deep dive in 1 hour..!

Also: http://forio.com/labs/julia-studio/tutorials/advanced/1/ .. cool collection of tutorials following it just teaches everything about Julia gripping one like a fiction novel..

2. Data Frame: http://www.r-tutor.com/r-introduction/data-frame

3. Single package.. : all of these, perhaps auto pulls in four packages..
"reading a delimited file / xls into an array, reading a delimited file/ xls into a DataFrame and accessing databases using ODBC."
readdlm, readcsv: read from file..
writedlm, writecsv: read from file..

4) Readability of a whole file:
�������� Remember Peter Deutsch's comment over a dinner: Smalltalk does not have readability over the whole class in one go..
�������� Now if we can also have a display in our Nautilus browser of the whole class in one read only browse mode with all methods as in Julia:

���� // all variables
���� classVariables =���� classVar1 , classVar2...
���� instanceVariables =�� instVar1 , instVar2 ..

������ // all class side..
������ class function�� init()
�������������������������� ....
�������� end
��������
�������� //all instance side
�������� function inst1()
�������������������������� .....
���������� end


�� **�� Easy interface with C / Fortran /�� Python.. pyplot for instance.. and JavaCall with in proc JVM..

The problem is that you need to invest at least 5 years of work before
having some impact in this domain.
