[$] The accelerating adoption of Julia

The Julia programming language hasseen 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 1.0release. 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 thelanguage, but the main focus of this article is a case study that is meantto help show why the language has been taking off. A follow-up articlewill introduce a new computational notebook for Julia, called Pluto, that is akin to Jupyter notebooks.
