    Anyone using Julia outside university settings? I tried to get into it around 5 years ago, and it felt good, was conceptually interesting, but haven't seen any adoption or talks anywhere outside the academia

    There's no language I'd want to teach (applied) math in more than Julia. Lean is obviously kind for anything involving a proof, but for teaching anything with linear algebra involved the syntax alone is enough of a reason to prefer Julia.

    Optimization, specifically the kind that JuMP tackles, is another field where teaching is probably easier in Julia than any other language

    I'm just picking up Julia for my DSP course at uni, and came across this nice intro. It's very well-paced for a first introduction to programming!
