It does look like support for arbitrarily based arrays (like Fortran 90) will be available in Julia v0.5 (thanks to Tim Holy&#x27;s great work).  Julia is <i>very</i> flexible, and the next thing is to allow row-major instead of just column-major arrays (something that I&#x27;ve heard is also being worked on, although I don&#x27;t know if it will be ready for v0.5)
