The Julia Programming Language

Speaker: Elliot Saba, Sr. Research Engineer at Julia Computing

Description: The Julia language defies the typical tradeoff of high performance against high-level features. Providing the best of both worlds through intelligent language design and modern compiler technology, Julia forms the foundation for a thriving ecosystem of packages for machine learning, data science, parallel/heterogenous computing, data visualization, scientific analysis and more. Elliot will give an overview of the Julia language and explain how it is able to give both a pleasant and productive programming experience while still achieving speeds competitive with best-in-class languages such as C/C++/Fortran.
