Julia is a high-level, general-purpose dynamic programming language, designed to be fast and productive, for e.g. data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling and simulation, most commonly used for numerical analysis and computational science. Distinctive aspects of Julia's design include a type system with parametric polymorphism in a dynamic programming language, multiple dispatch as a core programming paradigm, and efficient garbage collection. Julia was first publicly released in 2012 by a team including Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral B. Shah and Alan Edelman.
