    🎈 Simple reactive notebooks for Julia

    I only used Julia for a short time, but I didn't see the blazing fast speeds I was promised. I've seen the benchmarks, of course, on which the claims are founded, but the C-like speeds weren't obvious to me in everyday data science workflows. In the end, there wasn't sufficient motivation for me to switch to Julia as my weapon of choice. I do like Pluto[0], though...

  • StaticTools.jl

    Enabling StaticCompiler.jl-based compilation of (some) Julia code to standalone native binaries by avoiding GC allocations and llvmcall-ing all the things!

    We already have some forward prototypes of being able to run Julia ahead-of-time compiled native code from the command line.

    I think what we'll end up with is a language that can be used in both a fully static mode and in a dynamic mode along with some possible mixing. We may yet get the benefits of a statically compiled language as the tooling continues to develop. I do not see anything inherent in the language that would prevent that from happening.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
