“Julia has helped us increase our effectiveness as programmers and allows us to become productive quickly in a number of domains that normally require a large up-front investment in study time. A good example is GPU programming where we can begin loading data into CuArrays.jl for performance improvements before learning …

"A lot of our work involves solving mathematical models of the world in which the future is uncertain. Our workhorse is a solution algorithm called Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP). This works by solving hundreds of thousands of linear programs so speed is important."
