Julia in the Windows Store
David Anthoff

I will describe an effort to distribute Julia via the Windows Store. This effort includes a full Julia version manager that provides the ability to install multiple Julia versions at the same time, switch between them etc. The talk showcases an experimental working version of the installer from a user perspective, and also gives a brief deep dive around the technologies used.
