NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Julia is a dynamic, procedural and homoiconic programming language designed to address the needs of high performance scientific computing. The implementation of the language is organized around the concept of generic functions and dynamic method dispatch. Julia programs are largely functions that can contain multiple definitions for different combinations of argument types. The combination of these language features and the LLVM based just-in-time compiler help Julia achieve a high level of performance. Julia also supports a multiprocessing environment based on message passing to allow programs to run on multiple processes. This enables programmers to create distributed programs based on any of the models for parallel programming.
