The Financial
Times reports “US
government number-crunchers have been trying to measure the value of
“free” open-source software, such as R, Python, Julia and JavaScript,
concluding that if captured in statistics these would be worth about
$3bn a year.”
The third annual JuMP-dev
workshop takes place
March 12-14 in Santiago, Chile.
Registration
is free and talk proposal
submissions
are encouraged.

About Julia and Julia Computing
Julia is the fastest high performance open
source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading,
machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other scientific and
numeric computing applications. Julia solves the two language problem by
combining the ease of use of Python and R with the speed of C++. Julia
provides parallel computing capabilities out of the box and unlimited
scalability with minimal effort. For example, Julia has run at
petascale on
650,000 cores with 1.3 million threads to analyze over 56 terabytes of
data using Cori, one of the ten largest and most powerful supercomputers
in the world. With more than 2 million downloads, 1,900 registered
packages, 41 thousand GitHub stars and +101% annual download growth,
Julia is one of the top programming languages developed on GitHub. Julia
adoption is growing rapidly in finance, insurance, machine learning,
energy, robotics, genomics, aerospace, medicine and many other fields.
Julia Computing was founded in 2015
by all the creators of Julia to develop products and provide
professional services to businesses and researchers using Julia.

Studies section on the
Julia Computing Website.
Julia users, partners and employers hiring Julia programmers in 2018
include Amazon, Apple, BlackRock, Booz Allen Hamilton, Capital One,
Comcast, Disney, Ernst & Young, Facebook, Ford, Google, IBM, Intel,
KPMG, Microsoft, NASA, Netflix, Oracle, PwC, Uber, and many more.
