The counter-intuitive rise of Python in scientific computing

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/programming

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • 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.

  • julia

    The Julia Programming Language

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

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
