Building an Astronomy Code for VLBI in Julia
Paul Tiede
Julia's usage of astronomy has increased in the last decade. This talk will discuss my experience writing a larger astronomy code, Comrade.jl, and building the EHTJulia organization. I'll detail my experience writing code in Julia, contrasting it to my past experiences with C++ and Python astronomy software. Finally, given that astronomy software is built upon early career scientists, I'll also discuss the experience of teaching students how to use Julia and areas of improvement.
