Grouchy passengers on the London Underground are offered all kinds of stress-reducing therapies.

Mjolnir is, one the one hand, a library implementation of Julia’s type inference engine.

Clojure has introduced a very interesting idea called ‘transducers’, which decouple sequence transformations (mapping, filtering etc) from sequence implementations like vectors, lazy lists and channels.

Programming language design and implementation is, always has been, and likely always will be, hard.

When you write a for loop in Julia, like for x in xs # do something with x end this expands to

Julia programmers love nothing like a good polysemy.

Have you ever seen a programming language like this?

Julia has a library called CUDAnative, which hacks the compiler to run your code on GPUs. using CuArrays, CUDAnative xs, ys, zs = CuArray(rand(1024)), CuArray(rand(1024)), CuArray(zeros(1024)) function kernel_vadd(out, a, b) i = (blockIdx().x-1) * blo…
