GoKawiilMIT-born Julia language grows into JuliaHub, now used by over 1 million scientists
Julia began in 2009 as an MIT research effort by frustrated researchers who wanted a scientific programming language that was both easy to use and fast, unlike existing tools that forced rewrites for performance. The project evolved from an MIT lab into the company JuliaHub, and Julia is now a free, open-source language used by more than a million people across companies and universities worldwide, applied to everything from modeling jet engines and drugs to imaging black holes.
