What is Julia?

Julia is a high-performance open source programming language designed for scientific and numerical computing. Created to solve the "two-language problem," Julia combines the ease and expressiveness of languages like Python and R with performance comparable to C/C++. Released in 2012, Julia has grown significantly and is now used at more than 1,500 universities and 10,000 companies worldwide.
