#### The Julia programming language

Julia is a high level, high performance, dynamic language for technical computing.

Julia is **fast**: It was designed from the beginning for high performance. Julia programs JIT compile to efficient native code for multiple systems and architectures via LLVM.

Julia is **general**: It uses multiple dispatch as a paradigm, making it easy to express object oriented and functional programming patterns. The standard library provides asynchronous I/O, process control, logging, profiling, a package manager, and more. In addition, there is a rich ecosystem of over 10,000 packages and counting across a number of domains.

Julia is **easy to use**: It has high level syntax and is dynamically typed, providing accessibility for programmers of all backgrounds and experience levels, and making it feel like a scripting language.

Julia is **optionally typed**: It has an extensive, flexible, and extensible type system, and type declarations can be used to clarify and solidify programs. But type declarations are not required for general use.

Julia is **open source**: It's free for anyone to use, and the source code is publicly available under a permissive license on GitHub (<https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia>).
