Julia 1.0 – the programming language with the ease of Python and the speed of C++

After years of tinkering, the dynamic programming language Julia 1.0 was officially released to the public during JuliaCon, an annual conference of Julia users held recently in London.

The release of Julia 1.0 is a huge Julia milestone since MIT Professor Alan Edelman, Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, and Viral Shah released Julia to developers in 2012, says Edelman.

Arrays start at offset 1 - yes ONE !!! Oh my heavens - the last language I sw that did tat was GWBASIC. And even that could be forced to start at ZERO by the "DIM 0" command.

"ease of use of Python"

Is that novice python users?

Ambitious. Operations on registers. Losely typed, but sometimes strictly typed because we want polymorfic functions. I like all, but getting a headake. Maybe I confused somethng...

Anyone with practical experience using an IDE for Julia or plugins for VSCode or Atom. I Tried Julia 1.0 with VSCode, but could only get Julia 0.7 working.

The speed of C++
Oh, when there's no massive classes instantiating others and heaps of classes being overridden

R starts at 1 too.

Many languages pop up on the radar every now and then -- not many can justify staying there; Julia is one of the those for me.

I share many of the sentiments shared here:
