The State of Julia
2020-07-30 , Red Track

We take stock of the Julia and its ecosystem. The releases since 1.0 have been less major and non-breaking—which has been a relief—but nevertheless, a significant number of major new functionality has been added. We'll highlight some of the biggest developments in the language (can anyone say "multithreading"?), infrastructure (BB, Pkg3, Artifacts), and ecosystem (the Dataverse, DiffEqs, differentiable programming) and beyond. And finally, we look ahead to Julia 2.0.


In addition to taking stock of the language and ecosystem, we'll review the annual developer survey. That accounts for some portion of the 45 minutes, although it would also be separable if that's easier for scheduling.
