Julia

Julia is a high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language. While it is a general-purpose language and can be used to write any application, many of its features are well suited for numerical analysis and computational science (wikipedia).

Example Code

Mandelbrot

(a)
    z 0
    50
        z + a
    end
    return z
end

1.0
    0.5
        abs(mandelbrot(complex(x, y))) " ")
    end
    println()
end

Usage

Interactive

Julia comes with a full-featured interactive command-line REPL (read-eval-print loop) built into the julia executable. In addition to allowing quick and easy evaluation of Julia statements, it has a searchable history, tab-completion, many helpful keybindings, and dedicated help and shell modes. The REPL can be started by simply calling julia with no arguments or double-clicking on the executable. (Julia Documentation REPL)

 string(1 + 2)
"3"

julia> rand(2, 2)
2×2 Array{Float64,2}:

Jupyterlab

there exists a julia launcher on the Maxwell JHUB to use Julia kernels in Jupyterlab
