How an MIT research project became a global programming language | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Julia, the programming language that originated as a research project at MIT, has gained a loyal following among scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and others. The free and open-source language counts more than 1 million users, including people at thousands of companies and universities around the world.
It all started with some exasperated emails. Back in 2009, a group of researchers began venting their frustration with the programming languages designed to help scientists and other researchers perform complex mathematical operations and statistical simulations without learning how to code. These programming languages were rigid and slow. If scientists built something that really worked, they’d need to rewrite the entire program in another language just to run it more quickly. The emails turned into a research project at MIT with the mission of building an easy-to-use, high-performance…
