 it does even more than what I wrote so far :). I've started writing the plugin 
because I wanted to learn a bit of Julia which seems quite interesting. You can 
find my code here:

https://github.com/mgubi/texmacs/tree/wip-julia

I have some code to capture more consistently the stdout and stderr streams, 
but not yet all the additional functionalities. I will integrate your code to 
mine. 

Let me say that for the moment I think we need to concentrate our developments 
to the Jupyter kernel (Jeroen had made many progresses there). It seems to me 
that both Julia and Python are well supported in Jupyter, so having a good 
support for the Jupyter protocol is important to us.

It would be interesting if people start to use our jupyter plugin and report 
errors/suggestions, e.g. using this page

https://github.com/mgubi/tm_jupyter

or Jeroens':

https://github.com/woutersj/tm_jupyter

Also would be cool to have examples, use cases, etc...

For what I've seen of Julia so far I like it and it is quite impressive. Also 
I've found that one of the developers has written a nice interpreted 
lisp/scheme called femtolisp which is small and according to my benchmarks as 
fast as s7 so it could be another candidate to replace Guile 1.8 if we ever 
wants to.
