Julia v1.3
I find Julia to be a beautiful little language. Applause to the team for this 1.3 release!In one of my CS classes we wrote a LISP using Julia. Our professor wrote the parser for us, so we just had to focus on the actual interpreter bit. The pattern matching/multi-dispatch mechanisms were really nice. We didn't get to play too much with the parallelism mechanisms, but I liked what I did see.I feel like Julia is a much richer language than, say, Python, and it would be a nice drop-in replacement for numerical computing tasks: it's faster, in some ways more ergonomic, and afaik can call out to Python libraries if needed. Has anyone here switched from Python to Julia for scientific/ML/AI purposes?
