Not that relevant, but<p>&gt;Because the Julia language is particularly good at adding new data types without sacrificing speed, several people jumped on making a port to Julia, including the MIT founders of that language.<p>I&#x27;m really impressed with the Julia language so far and considering implementing some quantum chemistry models for many-body systems (Hartree-Fock and probably Coupled Cluster if I ever get that far). Mostly because a) Julia looks fun, b) FORTRAN is still king of speed (which I&#x27;ll need all I can get of) but is a pain to write and c) the alternative to FORTRAN is C(++), where being OO isn&#x27;t that much of a bonus. And Julie looks fun to write.
