Intro to Julia

" summary

Julia claims the goal to write code like Python and let it run like C and demonstrates that with LLVM and machine code inspection, the macro code_warntype, and profiling tips to fix type instability. The session shows calling C/C++ via a shared library and calling Python via PyCall, times a Fibonacci loop as a rough comparison, runs pmap for simple parallelism, and loads DataFrames/StatsBase for CSV cleaning and k‑means clustering — examples compile and execute, with a 1B‑edge graph taking ~4h in Julia versus ~3.5h in C++.
