"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. We chose Julia because the JuliaOpt …

"AlphaRoute uses Julia as its main programming language for developing and maintaining revolutionary algorithms we deploy to help school districts and transit systems... and eventually other customer groups. These algorithms power our incredibly valuable work, saving public agencies millions of dollars each year, while helping them improve their service. School …
