The Julia programming language has
seen a major increase in its use and popularity over the last few years.
We last looked at it two years ago, around the time of the Julia 1.0
release. Here, we will look at some of the changes since that release,
none of which are major, as well as some newer resources for learning the
language, but the main focus of this article is a case study that is meant
to help show why the language has been taking off. A follow-up article
will introduce a new computational notebook for Julia, called Pluto, that is akin to Jupyter notebooks.
