Julia is a superb platform for physics calculations of all kinds. Various features of its syntax, such as the ability to use mathematical symbols and its concise array operations, make it a natural fit for programming algorithms that we use in physics. Julia’s speed of execution makes it one of only a few languages used for the most demanding large-scale simulations (and the others in this club are all lower-level, statically compiled languages). Julia’s physics ecosystem includes some state-of-the-art packages. Finally, Julia’s unique ...
