Its major strength is to combine the expressivity and ease of use of high-level, dynamic languages with the speed of C (almost). This is achieved via an LLVM-based Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler that targets machine code for x86-64 architectures.

In this recipe, we will try Julia in the IPython notebook using the IJulia package available at http://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl. We will also show how to use Python packages (such as NumPy and ...
