I've heard good reviews of the language here. So I've no doubt about its technical capabilities. However, funding might suppress the ability to make breaking changes.. which I believe are pretty good until 1.0 or so. On the business side, will we end up with (hopefully) a better, cheaper Matlab?
My guess is that we'll probably start seeing pricing split into various modules a la Matlab - Julia Financial, FEM, Semiconductor etc. Also Julia Enterprise etc.
Maybe Mathworks will acquire them and call it MATLAB 2020!
