Julia for the Curious C++ Programmer

Julia for the Curious C++ Programmer
Julia is a high-performance JIT compiled dynamic language originally targeting numerical computing. However, the power of Julia's central ideas such as type stability and multiple dispatch have made it a viable competitor to both C++ and Python in a wide variety of contexts. In this talk, we'll learn the basics of programming in Julia, the contexts in which Julia thrives, and what C++ can learn from this powerful language. Along the way, we'll learn how to improve the speed of our Julia code, write Julia packages, and leverage other packages in the Julia ecosystem.
