| PackageDescription | high-performance programming language for technical computing
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for
technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical
computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed
parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function
library. The library, mostly written in Julia itself, also integrates mature,
best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number
generation, FFTs, and string processing. Julia programs are organized around
defining functions, and overloading them for different combinations of
argument types (which can also be user-defined).

This package provides a complete Julia installation (JIT compiler, standard
library, text-based user interface). |
