Found a bug with php-mode today, and been hacking on julia-mode. Turns out writing a full-featured major mode is major task (esp non-lisps).

I've never seen a language add a full-featured REPL later in its life. It's incredibly hard to add "update function definition" interactively. Clojure is an interesting case. It was developed with a REPL in mind, but the JVM was not. Perhaps the VM matters less here?
