Thank God I found this video, it should have more likes. As someone with some C++/Python/OCaml/etc. background I wanted to have a good idea about the language and the whys. I have found plenty of 6-10 minute videos with more likes that basically sum up to "Julia new, clever people, C ugly, Julia nice and fast, here is the syntax". Which was mostly a hype (a believable one, but still). This video actually provided a deep enough understanding. So thank you a lot! 1.5 hours ( /1.25) well spent. There is of course a lot to learn, but this provided a very nice frame for everything. 1-based indexing will be weird though... 😀
Thanks, I thought a lot about how to try to present this as I kept seeing so many misconceptions about Julia performance from questions people asked. So many thing it is because of LLVM or type annotations, so I thought a lot about how do you really home in on the correct idea from the get-go. I definitely wanted to reach more people like you, who know a fair amount of programming but who aren't easily sold by some vague claims.
Well done! You're delivering a talk from-home, online and the audio doesn't sound like you're using a compression algorithm from 1987. I love your Lego nuclear reactor!
Great presentation! Despite been already converted to Julia, I still learned quite a bit from this exposition. Thank you! Looking forward to further Julia-centric talks.
This is now the video I will refer my friends to to introduce them to Julia. Great structure, well planned, great examples. I just have to say, the persistent and frequent throat-clearing was a very, very distracting thorn. Other than that, thank you so much!
agree on all points. I think the throat clearing, lip smacking, and other sounds are actually a tick. I use to work with someone who did this without being aware of it. It was hard to get past and stay focused then just like it was here. I find the best way is to take a break and watch in 10 minute increments if it overwhelms you. I see I will likely need to get a good book. The language has a lot of interesting and sometimes unexpected syntactic choices. A lot to ponder.

Nice video Erik! LOOOVE Julia!
Great presentation, very clear with beautiful explanations - Hope to see more talks from Erik

Sorry my throat wasn't great then ;-)
Amazing talk with well selected insights! Thank you, Erik
Very interesting and well-prepared talk. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this excellent talk !
Glad you liked it!
hello my name is Julia... I'm a programmer. Maybe I should learn julia!
