What’s on Julia 1.0

Julia 1.0 was released last August 8 during JuliaCon 2018 in London. It was a great event with loads of interesting talks about the Julia ecosystem.

The 1.0 release brought about many changes and I will discuss some of the new features I consider to be the most significant including the new package manager, different parallelism types, simplified iterators, and some noteworthy packages during the talk.

If you haven’t tried or installed Julia, now is the right time. It’s much faster and leaner due to significant changes in the package manager and compiler.
