Julia: come for the syntax, stay for the speed
Perkel, J.M.
Nature 572, 141 (2019)
https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/d41586-019-02310-3

A dispatch from Nature on a relatively new and increasingly interesting programming language for scientific computing, called Julia. The promise is the interactivity, convenience and rich open-source package environment you get in Python, R, and other interpreted languages, but with the speed you get in compiled languages like C and Fortran. It’s a language to keep an eye on. There was a recent conference called JuliaCon, here is a link to videos of all of the talks.
