Is Julia lang ready for production? Or should we stick to Python for now?

I'd say that Julia is not ready for production in most companies since there will still be breaking changes to come.

My take exactly. When it's ready it's going to be awesome.

Thanks johnmyleswhite. Do they have an expected timeline?

1.0 will come in 1-3 years. It's really hard to say. I think language will largely stabilize in 1 year.

It could see quick adoption. Analysts with coding and ecosystem experience in Python, R, etc., will find it easy to work in Julia.

I'm excited to see it start gaining traction in the next few years.

I was about to sit down and gripe about the lack of support for modules, but it looks like Julia really has come a long way in that regard in the past 6 months. Namespacing seems to finally be in (http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/modules/) so things are really coming together to let this be used by actual systems instead of just scripts.
