I'm seriously thinking of learning this language. It looks like the perfect language for computational/numerical applications. For example

Is anyone here using Julia?
Pretty amazing stuff.

Traditionally, maths applications were written in Fortran and in the 90s, C++. The object-oriented paradigm reigned but the match with maths was less than optimal. Later, attempts were made to apply templates, but it is the wrong paradigm. Very awkward. The 3rd paradigm Functional Programming (and lambda calculus) was developed to reduce this cognitive gap.I like it. The fact that f(x)=x^2 without further ado defines a function that works properly for several different types of the argument x is very nice. And automatic differentiation is simple and intuitive to use. Caveat - I'm a lightweight in this domain.
I don't know him/her.Wait - what did she do?
I thought that there are zillions of AD and matrix solvers out there? Is there a mission statement as a feature list somewhere?Quite a few ML researchers are getting enthusiastic about Jax: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/quickstart.html
No, Linda (L).Sure you don't mean Ada?
