I don&amp;#x27;t exactly remember how but I think I was scrolling through a list of programming languages that looked interesting so I could write &amp;quot;Hello, world&amp;quot; in it.&lt;p&gt;So I stumpled upon Julia, knowing nothing about it and downloaded it.
At the time the language was still very young, but I remember thinking to myself that this language has a lot of potential, it promises something we actually need, like being dynamic yet high performance.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve slowly been following Julias progress overtime and damn, it is growing rapidly and gained a lot of attention! I&amp;#x27;m happy because it deserves it.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been working with Matlab again and I&amp;#x27;m thinking about giving Julia another shot, this is also because Apache Octave was a disaster for me.&lt;p&gt;The end.</text></comment>

Writing math-heavy code in Julia is such a pleasure. C++ is a pain, numpy is alright but Julia just makes sense. I really wish I could use it for my day-job.&lt;p&gt;Back when I was on ATLAS we mostly did things in C++. If I never have to do another matrix multiplication in C++ again it will be too soon.</text></comment>
