Sessions
JuliaCon has its own peer-reviewed academic proceedings journal, where authors can publish their work presented at JuliaCon.
This talk will give an overview of the JuliaCon proceedings, discussing its structure, its submission and review process, its technical infrastructure and how people in the community can get involved.
The Chapel programming language, while not competing with Julia in target audience, shares a similar story. Chapel was developed for making high-performance parallel programming easier and more fun to write, without giving up on performance.
This talk, after a short overview of the Chapel programming language, will focus on interoperability between the languages, showing how one can use Chapel code from Julia and Julia code from Chapel.
Chapel is a programming language designed to make parallel and distributed programming easier, more productive and more enjoyable. Julia, similarly, aims to solve the two-language problem, bridging the gap between scientific exploration and efficient computation. With such similar goals, the communities can learn from each other to share experiences, and thoughts. Join our BoF for a cozy and informal session about Chapel, with a brief overview of the language followed by an informal discussion.
