Hi,
Here is an opportunity to experience and learn about a new language
http://julialang.org/ , we will calling upon the creators on this language
while they are in Delhi .
What is a hacknight?
Hacknight is a space where you can work on your pet project, try a new idea
or test the waters of new tools, technologies and languages. At hacknights,
you meet new people, make friends and network. Overall, a hacknight is an
amazing, hands-on learning experience.
HasGeek's hacknights provide developers the opportunity to work in an easy,
relaxed, peer-to-peer format, over a period of 12-20 hours.
What is Julia?
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for
technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other
technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler,
distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive
mathematical function library. The library, largely written in Julia
itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for
linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string
processing.
In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of
external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace.
Julia programs are organized around multiple dispatch; by defining
functions and overloading them for different combinations of argument
types, which can also be user-defined. For a more in-depth discussion of
the rationale and advantages of Julia over other systems, see the following
highlights or read the introduction in the online manual. - From
Wikipedia. Unlike other mathematical programming languages, Julia is
purpose built for distributed computing, scaling easily across muliple CPUs.
