Julia Enters TIOBE Index Top 20: For the first time, Julia has entered the top 20 programming languages in the TIOBE index. TIOBE CEO Paul Jansen explains: “Julia is faster than Python, more suitable to write large systems in it than R and less expensive than MATLAB. So, speed, scalability and being open source make Julia an attractive alternative.” More information is available from InfoWorld, Clayton County Register, Computer World, IT Home, BDM, Fagen Wasanni Technologies, I Programmer and OPP Today.
