"Why are macroeconomists like myself so interested in and excited by Julia? Because our models are complicated. It’s easy to write the problem down, but it’s hard to solve it – especially if our model is high dimension. That’s why we need Julia."

“Julia has the best of both worlds. When we are prototyping, we can rapidly create simple simulations or algorithms to perform general tests, taking advantage of the ease usually available in interpreted languages. After this phase, when algorithms are then used in simulators or multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) tools, we …
