This goes back to a previous discussion about about Julia (couple weeks 
back) and IPython. What these guys at CERN need is the dynamic duo of 
IPython and Julia. (its gonna be fabulous, seriously)

Or, Julia by itself. The whole point of the Julia project was to bring 
the whole dynamic scripting, glue, lightning fast FORTRAN or C++ 
specialty code, into one screaming fast package that "does it all".

Of course that's a pipe dream, but they are getting very close. And, if 
they pull off the IPython | Julia match-up thing, man, its going to 
change the way technical computation is handled for decades to come.

Back to the TDWTF post, what a hoot. Ok, you heard it there first 
people, Python is dead everyone learn BASH.    :-p    heh
