Meet Julia

Hi, my name is Julia. I can do everything that Python can do, more even, and I actually have a personality. I’m a bit jovial in fact.

My favorite animal is the elusive octocat. Unfortunately, Unicode hasn’t gotten with the times and added an octocat glyph, so I’ll have to improvize a bit:

julia> 🐙🐱() = println("meow?")
julia> 🐙🐱()
meow?

Enough with the silliness. Start digging into the various directories for examples of how I do what I do, and comparisons of my work to the likes of C, C++, Python and R.

Hopefully, by the end of this, you will be proselyte worshiping at the alter of Julia.
