Up until a few months ago, when people asked what the advantages of
Julia were, I usually mentioned its speed, maintainability, and how
easy it was to run your code in a distributed way. Now, I usually add that Chris
Rackauckas created the best differential equations package available
(DifferentialEquations.jl). Check out the comparison with other
packages. I thought it would be useful to give a brief overview of
one very useful feature it has when solving ecological problems.
