Re: [BABEL] the julia language

[Eric Schulte <schulte.eric@gmail.com>]

Hi Jay,

Having read through intro-julia.org and scanned ob-julia.el I have to
say this looks great.  Thanks for sharing!

Would you be willing to contribute ob-julia.el to the Org-mode
repository?  I don't see you listed as an Org-mode contributor (see
[1]), so to do so you would likely have to complete the FSF copyright
attribution.  Please let me (and more importantly Bastien) know if this
is something you'd like to do, so we can help get julia support into
Org-mode.

Additionally, it would be nice for your excellent introduction to be
added to worg, and for julia to be listed as a supported babel language
(see [2]).

Cheers,
