  1. Pluto.jl

    🎈 Simple reactive notebooks for Julia

    And I can really recommend https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl as an alternative to Jupyter notebooks (but Jupyter supports Julia, too), giving way better reproducibility.

  2. InfluxDB

  3. julia

    The Julia Programming Language

    As a starting point for people not knowing Julia yet: https://julialang.org/

  4. adaptrapezoid_benchmark

    benchmark languages that potentially suitable to scientific computing with the adaptive trapezoid numeric integration algorithm

    Julia is C speed if you write optimised code https://github.com/astrojhgu/adaptrapezoid_benchmark/blob/master/Result.md notice that Julia is faster than C++ and rust here and is the only thing close to C. MATLAB doesn't come close to this as it is interpreted it would be orders of magnitude slower.

  5. TwoBasedIndexing.jl

    Two-based indexing

    There are other choices like https://github.com/simonster/TwoBasedIndexing.jl and https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl if you do not like 1-based indexing.

  6. StarWarsArrays.jl

    Arrays indexed as the order of Star Wars movies

    There are other choices like https://github.com/simonster/TwoBasedIndexing.jl and https://github.com/giordano/StarWarsArrays.jl if you do not like 1-based indexing.

  7. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.
