[O] [BABEL] the julia language

[Jay Kerns]

Hello,

Maybe you've heard about the relatively new language, "julia" [1]?
The ESS team added support for it some months back [2] and they've
been working on it more recently even [3]. It seemed natural to
investigate Babel support for julia and after quite a bit of fiddling
with ob-R.el I believe I've sorted out the major pieces:

git://github.com/gjkerns/ob-julia.git

There's an "ob-julia.el" file which is the meat, then
"ob-julia-doc.org" and "ob-julia-beamer.org" files for testing, plus
an "intro-julia.org" file in case you're new to julia and would like
to learn more. For testing you'd need a recent installation of julia
[2] and you'd need an almost bleeding-edge version of ESS [4].  By the
way, it was written under the development branch of Org so if you
haven't updated recently you might need that too.

LaTeX/HTML/Beamer export is working, C-c C-c evaluation of code
chunks, plotting figures (need the Winston package), etc.  Session
evaluation is required at least for the time being.

If you see ways to improve it I'd appreciate any feedback.

Cheers,
Jay
