[julia-users] A grateful scientist
As someone who volunteers my free time to developing Julia, it means a lot to hear that.

Re: [julia-users] A grateful scientist
Seriously +9000 to this sentiment. I am new to Julia but man what this community has made is incredible. The beauty of this project staggers me. Not having to mess around with C for a large chunk of my new codes inner loops feels like magic every time. Thank you all so much.

Re: [julia-users] A grateful scientist
Thank you for writing this – it's a lovely thing to wake up to. I'm sure all the others who make Julia happen and read this list daily feel the same.

Utterly seconding that. Amazing community and beautiful language. Thanks all! Jon Norberg

(Oh and Yakir, your work sounds like one of the coolest interdisciplinary mixes I could possibly think of.)

Re: [julia-users] A grateful scientist
I'll add my voice to say thanks as well! I made the switch from Python to Julia for some astrophysical models in my PhD, because I suck at C and Fortran and didn't like the messiness of dealing with something like Cython. Julia has been great for this and has introduced me gently to the usefulness of types and how to program for speed without throwing me in the deep end. I look forward to the day I can introduce people to it without having to preface the introduction with "You probably won't care about what I'm saying until the language and packages are more stable, but..."

Hi Julia community and developers, I'm a postdoc researching color vision, biological optics, polarization vision, and camouflage. I've always used Matlab in my research and made the switch to Julia about two years ago. I just wanted to report, for what it's worth, that as a researcher I think Julia is the best. I promote it everywhere I think it's appropriate, and use it almost exclusively. Just wanted to say a big fat thank you to all the developers and community for creating this magnificence. THANK YOU!
