>No, but that also means Julia isn't much special then either right?

That's a really dumb conclusion. It's special in other things it offers (from a better Matlab like language with crazy ass speed to homoiconicy and great FFI). Who said it's only special if it fulfils some specific rainbow-unicorn pipe dream?

It also doesn't read the programmer's thought -- so not special in that regard either.

>Maybe it is just me but Julia positions itself as a better Python not just a better C, in that position, can you really blame people if they misunderstand and expect same "high level" behavior from it?

Lots of people also find Go a "better Python", and Go is like assembly compared to Julia...
