Julep: Taking multiple dispatch,export,import,binary compilation seriously

News from the armchair:
I am working on a toy example for the proposed design, for now it looks quite doable but it will take some more time. Not too long.

Regarding the remarks about that it is hard to reason about code when dispatch is determined by the caller … I find that a bit absurd because it is determined by the caller anyhow.

In my proposal , dispatch is determined by what the caller sees, that’s the big difference.

What the caller doesn’t see doesn’t affect the call. IMHO this quality is required for code at scale.

I think Julia is the best language , I have widthrawl symptoms whenever I consider using another.

I am amazed by the amount of work and attention the devs and everyone here have put into it

And I think that in due time it can replace C , Julia is the future.
