Julia programming language - this language is high-level with dynamic typing and it was created for mathematical calculations, but you can also write general-purpose programs on it. 

History

The date of creation of this language is 23.08.2009, the release date is 2012, and the main idea of the development was to create a universal programming language that will work with a large amount of information and will not lose its performance. In principle, this language was developed as a replacement for MATLAB and the R programming language because they have obvious limitations. The developers immediately took into account that working with a large amount of computing takes place in the cloud and therefore immediately integrated support for clouds and parallel programming. 

Replacing Python

For some time now, articles from the category have been popping up on the Internet – “Python has lost relevance”, “Python is worse than Julia”, etc. However, has Python really gotten worse and it's time to change it with another programming language?
The answer will be as follows – it all depends on the developer. And indeed, if you are a Python developer, then it makes no sense for you to change this programming language to another one. Python is still one of the top languages thanks to community support and some other aspects, but you should definitely get to know Julia because this programming language is also easy to write and may suit you more.
Julia – has some properties that Python cannot boast of, and it will also be easy for you to work with the team because you can install it on the server and give access to additional users to work. 

At the end of the article there will be a video with the installation of Julia on the server!

Who uses Julia?

This programming language is used by people who are looking for an opportunity to quickly process a large amount of information in a short time. This language is liked by data processing specialists and people working with artificial intelligence, this is due to the fact that these specialists need to work with mathematical problems. 
Also, this language is used by those who previously programmed in MATLAB or R. However, Julia was designed as a replacement for these languages and provides more features with less resource consumption. 

Advantages of Julia?

Developers using this programming language are happy because of some of its exceptional qualities. We will analyze them below.

• Global
  Everything can be done in this programming language! From creating a simple program (Hello World!) up to the most complex manipulations related to artificial intelligence and higher mathematics.
   
• Speed
  When creating Julia, it was an important aspect to create a language that would work at high speed, and this idea was perfectly implemented. Even the most difficult tasks will be solved faster than any other programming languages. 
• Users
  This programming language was created about 13 years ago and has acquired a narrow circle of specialists. For example, Python has a much larger community of users and it will be easier to find the answer to the question, but at the same time there is a large number of newcomers in this community. Julia users are experts in their field, and although there are not many of them and it is more difficult to find an answer, but you will only communicate with experienced users and get a detailed answer.
• Compatibility
  A very big advantage of this language is compatibility with other languages. For example, if you don't know how to write code in Julia, but you want to use it, then you can write Python or C code in Julia. Thanks to compatibility, this is an incredible luxury and will help you notice and fix code weaknesses.
   
• Package Management
  Julia has a built-in package management system. Although there are fewer of them than in other programming languages, because this language is still young, this does not greatly affect its work. It is also possible to interact with C packages.

These are not all the advantages, there are actually quite a lot of them, but these five are enough to understand that Julia is great for studying.
