Design and implementation

Julia's design and implementation focus on several key features contributing to its
performance, flexibility, and interoperability.
One of the main components is its Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, which generates bytecodes as
needed, offering a significant speedup and reducing start-up time.
The language’s core programming paradigm is based on a multiple dispatch mechanism,
allowing multiple functions to share the same name but differ in argument types. This
approach provides exceptional flexibility and efficiency when defining behaviours for
different type combinations.
Julia also supports built-in parallelism, enabling multi-threading and the simultaneous
scheduling of tasks, which improves overall efficiency, supported by the official article on
Julia’s website.
Moreover, it ensures seamless interoperability with other programming languages by
allowing the reuse of libraries from different languages with minimal overhead, thereby
enhancing its versatility and facilitating integration with existing codebases.
Lastly, Julia boasts a robust ecosystem of libraries and tools, along with automatic garbage
collection, which further supports its efficiency and scalability for a wide range of
applications.
Benefits

1, Julia uses just-in-time compilation (JIT), while C language uses normal compilation. One
of JIT’s advantages is: it can be optimised based on the specific use and the particular
operating machines, however normal compilation cannot. This enables Julia to have better
performance in a wider range of fields, including, complex machine learning.

2, Seamless inter-operability with other programming languages without extra efforts. Julia
offers directly seamless inter-operability with other programming languages, allowing users
to, directly and easily, access libraires of other languages, for example, Python. This is a
significant advantage over C language, which requires extra effort, for example, users have to
manually make adjustments based on the operating devices.

3, provides built-in parallelism support


C language doesn’t directly provide this support; therefore, external libraries must be
employed to enable multitasking. In comparison, Julia is constructed with built-in parallelism
support, which allows multiple tasks to be performed simultaneously, making it more
convenient to use
Conclusion and future development

Conclusion: Overall, ..... which contains+(features). These features make it more convenient
to use and wider range of applications.

For future development. Julia has a great potential to be used in new-born industries, for
example, quantum computing. This is because quantum computing always requires
performing multiple operations at the same time to calculate the results, which can be
supported by Julia’s build- in parallelism support.

Also, there are several potential evolutions can be done to improve Julia’s performance. For
example, Julia consumes more power compared to other languages. Potential solution
can be avoiding unnecessary resources allocations.

Learning journey

On our learning journey, a source that we find being particularly useful was a
passage written by the developers themselves, talking about their ambition in
creating this language. This provide first-hand insights that helped us with finding out
the initial purposes of Julia.
