Julia is dynamically typed, feels like a scripting language, and has good support for interactive use, but can also optionally be separately compiled

The xmas-related greetings and gifts I send are usually made in #julialang and are usually vaguely astronomical, although sometimes the imagery is a bit astrological - scorpions and dragons etc 😀
