Why Use Julia in Data Science Projects?
summary
This talk presents the Julia programming language (v1.0) for Data Science and Big Data, describing its design goals and features: MIT open-source license, dynamic typing and interactive scripting, simple syntax, multiple-dispatch, JIT compilation to C-like performance, generic functions, Lisp-style macros, and support for distributed/multi-core computing. It analyzes Julia’s advantages and disadvantages to motivate when and how to adopt Julia in serious data-science projects.
