A high-level, open source and high-performance dynamic language.
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic language for technical computing.
Julia was designed from the beginning for high performance. Julia programs compile to efficient native code for multiple platforms via LLVM.
Julia is dynamically-typed, feels like a scripting language, and has good support for interactive use.
Julia has a rich language of descriptive datatypes, and type declarations can be used to clarify and solidify programs.
Julia uses multiple dispatch as a paradigm, making it easy to express many object-oriented and functional programming patterns. It provides asynchronous I/O, debugging, logging, profiling, a package manager, and more.
Julia has high level syntax, making it an accessible language for programmers from any background or experience level. Browse the Julia microbenchmarks to get a feel for the language.
Julia is provided under the MIT license, free for everyone to use. All source code is publicly viewable on GitHub.
