So you can use Julia \"as C without a GC\" (and I assume it will stay that way forever). From scanning the Embedding docs (a while back), it seemed Julia does more.\r\n\r\nLooking up Libc also show \"Python function\", \"Python data\", \"Python module\". Is that an error? Looking those up, is not helpful.. I assume it means something in relation to PyCall.. This could just be confusing to someone, if you had never heard of the Python language."}}
