Julia

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<\code> (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. Most notably, Julia Plots does not work. You can use Gadfly instead.
