What a great idea. I have a bunch of ideas and successes to share but not enough time or patience to start a blog.

I design software that is written in c# for corporate reasons but I keep all of the algorithms also coded in Julia so that I don’t need to rely on professional developers to write experimental code for my research. Crazy thing is, my Julia code is shorter and faster than the c#.

Thanks for setting this up.

Glad to have you here @stephen ! Can't wait to see what you share.

This looks like a great response to R's R-bloggers platform for consolidating articles on julia. I hope people are willing to do the "double publish" approach that is favored there, where articles show up directly on R-bloggers with a link to personal or company websites where it was also published (ensuring credit is given where credit is due).

Yes, double publishing is a core part of Forem, you can set the canonical link to ensure the SEO boost goes to the original post!

Excited about one day Julia-lang becoming more accepted in my industry’s workflow as a viable tool for simulation, analysis, and embedded algorithm development across the enterprise.

Hi everyone it's Xun!

I'm a PhD student in Clemson Univ School of Computing. I'm here because Julia is fast. I want to learn how to make my code runs more efficient and faster. I'll be happy to share my experience with you and know your experience using Julia!

Where do we envision this sitting relative to discourse, slack, zulip, discord, etc?

Right in the Middle. Discourse is for Q/A about technical topics. Slack, Zulip, Discord are realtime chat. This is for writing content or the like about Julia.

This platform has a lot of the social features that Discourse lacks so sharing and writing content on Discourse is not really a great experience right now

Hello! I’m excited for a platform where I can go for longer written pieces on Julia (eg. using huggingface in Julia). I hope it will encourage even more content

Now that I would love to see! Huggingface support, and also being able to write Julia in Databricks and ML Studio. If that happened, I would be able to move entirely to Julia.

On LinkedIn you can take skill quizzes for different programming languages (like Python and R). A skill quiz for Julia is not available yet. Would be nice IMHO to promote Julia as well as your own skills. Are there plans to add Julia?

I am an Industrial and Production engineer. I've developed projects using HTML, CSS ,JavaScript (NodeJS), I even tried Rust and Python for awhile but fell in love with Julia when I wanted to implement a difficult algorithm in my final undergrad project but couldn't. Julia saved me and I really believe a lot of great ideas can be achieved because of Julia. Thanks guys.

My name is Heramb and I am a product manager with one of the leading tech publishers. I am here to discuss the endless possibilities that #JuliaLang brings to the Data Analytics and Data Engineering world and also seek some expert insights on creating the content that will help community adopt and use #JuliaLang effectively.
