Learning Julia(0): context

A super fan of Matlab, I've used it (mainly the Optimization toolbox) a lot during my PhD study. Later on, after I started my professional job in INRIA and GE, I used mainly C++/C/C#/Python but never Matlab. Though Matlab is great, it is, however, too expensive. That's why I use often open-source tools such like Numpy, Scipy, Eigen and Maxima in some development works.

I heard the name of Julia in 2017 and felt astonished to learn that this new language combines the interactivity and computational power of Python/Matlab with the speed of C. It is until today that I have time to learn intensively this powerful and promising language. So I will share my everyday learning notes here. Stay hungry!
