Julia: to Lisp or not to Lisp?
European Lisp Symposium
Stefan Karpinski's European Lisp Symposium 2016 talk asks whether Julia is a Lisp. He covers the features it borrows from Lisp, such as macros and closures, and where it departs, including syntax and its type system, with generated machine code shown.
HN commenters recommend it as a brilliant talk on Julia's design and how it is or isn't a Lisp.
