I have recently been interested in exploring a new programming language…Go and Rust. But now that I again see a future in Julia. I think it will scratch that itch…for a while anyway. I used it enough to be productive with it, but not enough to call myself much more than a beginner.
My log reports that I first started using Julia in August 2018. But as of today when I use the search button…that post doesn’t show up. The first entry, that does show up is in October 2018…2 months later…strange! There were actually another 5+ posts I did, that really showed my excitement at discovering Julia. It’s a WordPress bug because I’ve seen others mention it…even 3 years ago.
It seems to be a language heavily aimed at math and data science, however I like/use it for general programming. It has a very Python like feel about it. And yet…for me anyway (probably not others) Julia works in a way that make more sense. I won’t rehash everything I’ve already said. But at the top of the list is array indexing and the way slices work.
