Julia is an open-source high-level dynamic programming language designed for numerical and scientific computing, data analysis, and visualization. It is known for its speed and high-performance computing capabilities, thanks to its just-in-time (JIT) compilation, multiple dispatch and built-in parallelism. Julia is also easy to learn and use, with a syntax that is similar to MATLAB and Python.
