Julia is a high-level dynamic programming language written specifically for high-performance numerical and scientific computing.[1][2][3] Julia is written in C, C++, and Scheme (programming language) using the LLVM compiler framework, while most of Julia's standard library is implemented in Julia itself.[4] Development of Julia began in 2009 and an open source version was publicized in February 2012.[5][6] Unusual aspects of Julia's design are the inclusion of an expressive type system in a fully dynamic language and multiple-dispatch being its core programming paradigm. The most notable aspect of the Julia implementation is its performance, which often comes within a factor of two of fully optimized C code, putting it within the performance realm of compiled languages.
