Julia

Functionality

Julia is a highly efficient programming language created by JuliaLang.org. Julia uses multiple dispatch as a paradigm, making it easy to express many object-oriented and functional programming patterns. Initially designed for numerical computing, it can be used to write a variety of applications or programs. Julia provides asynchronous I/O, debugging, logging, profiling, a package manager, and more. Julia is known to be faster than Python, and sufficiently more equipped at dealing with mathematical computing and numerical analysis.
