# Julia

Julia is an open source dynamic programming language for high-level, high-performance numerical computing \[[1](#references)]. Julia provides ease and expressiveness (similar to R, MATLAB, and Python), but also supports general programming \[[2](#references)]. 

Development of Julia began in 2009, and the first version was released in February 2012. The current version of Julia is 1.11 (as of November 2024).
