Hi all, just to let you know that I gave a presentation two weeks ago about Julia, and the slides are available online here<https://sites.google.com/site/carlosbecker/a-few-notes/julia-intro.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1> , together with an ijulia notebook<https://sites.google.com/site/carlosbecker/a-few-notes/julia-intro.ipynb?attredirects=0&d=1> (pdf<https://sites.google.com/site/carlosbecker/a-few-notes/slides-rfandboosting.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1> )
I found an example from Tim Salimans very interesting, where the Julia version is faster than even the equivalent C++ code *when using GSL*(because for some reason random sampling in GSL is slower than Julia's) You can find the example in the link above. I also found an interesting tutorial that may be worth adding to julialang.org: http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/julia/ Cheers.
