Julia is a programming language, that aims to create an unprecedented combination of ease-of-use, power, and efficiency in a single language.

Installation And Versions

You can install the newest version of Julia either with julia-bin (the derivation which downloads the binary) or julia (the derivation which builds Julia from the source). From the end-user perspective, -bin packages should be indistinguishable from source-built ones.

Packages

Some Julia packages expect binaries to be installed on your system. Until a better solution is found, you can run Julia inside Distrobox.

Most notably, Julia Plots does not work. You can use Gadfly instead.

Another solution is to enable nix-ld, see also here.
