Question: Would the Julia language be considered "domain-specific"? It seems to have a lot of characteristics of some of the examples from the previous and current lecture but I am curious. After reading through how they allow the programmer to parallelize and the datatypes supported it seems like they are too "general" in what can be expressed but they definitely make optimizations for matrix operations and common statistical computing operations

Here is a link discussing the parallelization that can be exploited in Julia(seems very similar to MPI)
