“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 …

“I started using Julia when a friend pointed me to a blog demonstrating efficient implementation of a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) with less than 2x overhead compared with C. So one weekend when I was sick and alone at home, I played with Julia and I was sold.”
