It's got the support in the core language. That's what is so exciting to me ... its not just numerics, its an excellent programming language in and of itself, before you even get to the interesting type system.
It is JIT compiled, though some of us who like to deploy apps would love to have an AoT compilation. Likely we could work around that with a singularity container on linux.
Unlike many other languages, parallelism is a first class citizen, be it SIMD, GPU, distributed machine, and combinations.
It also works very nicely on FBSD 11.x. I've tried compiling it on recent 12.x nightlies, but not had great luck.
I am actively looking to find projects to work on in it.
