When someone says: "There's this great dynamically-typed programming language with a useful and expressive type system, powerful macros and multiple-dispatch that solves the 'two language problem' (meaning that you can quickly and comfortably write a prototype in the language but then also write the fast production version in the same language), that has roots in academia but with uptake in industry, a great interactive coding experience in the REPL (including the ability to show you the assembly code for any function!) and [an] excellent compiler[s]" you don't know if they're talking about #CommonLisp or #JuliaLang until they choose either the plural or singular for the word "compiler"! 😛
