Specification of the Julia language

[musicde...@gmail.com]

Is there a formal specification of grammar and semantics of the core Julia language that I can use to determine the exact behavior of a Julia program or reimplement the language? If not, what is the reference?

In all seriousness, the language definition is still somewhat organic, and has some grammar rules which would be challenging to formalize.  It's not that it isn't possible, but no one has taken it upon themselves to do it, nor will it likely happen in the near future (unless you would like to!).
