Putting the "Ju" in Jupyter

The IJulia kernel was the first non-Python kernel to be written for the Jupyter notebook, and Julia’s needs have informed development over the last 4 years.

Julia hits a sweet spot in between an interactive, dynamic language, and a compiled high-performance language, by enabling both types of approach simultaneously. It is thus perfectly suited for use in a notebook, where the interactivity shines, while taking no performance hit whatsoever.

We will give an overview of some of Julia’s unique features and how they work hand-in-hand with the notebook to give an unparalleled environment for developing high-performance computational science and engineering applications.
