Julia Isn't perfect

Why did I personally adopt Julia?

Not another programming

language!

Why do I think Julia is worth learning?

  • Very young language
  • Julia = 3yrs - v0.3
  • Python = 24yrs -v2.7/3.4

  • Relatively few packages

  • Relatively small user community
  • Mainly scripted in Matlab.

  • Python didn't feel natural for scientific programming to me.

  • Julia fitted the bill! Not turned back.

  • The Julia community is fantastic.
  • Challenges the 2 language paradigm.

  • Make the crystallographic software community more cohesive.
