  It's really cool, but it's early days yet.  My favourite comment on
this is at http://www.quantumforest.com/2012/09/mid-september-flotsam/ :

Attention Deficit Disorder sufferers have moved, at least for a while,
from talking about Julia to talking about Stan.

  (Julia is a new-ish language for numerical computation that hopes to
combine the expressiveness/convenience of R, Python, etc. etc. with the
speed of C++/FORTRAN.  People have already started talking about
implementing AD in Julia ...
