Julia is a dynamically-typed programming language designed for scientific computing, data science and ML. Although interpretive (with just-in-time compiling), it is very performant like C.
I'm using a dev container so I don't have to install Julia on my Mac. All I need a is a Docker daemon, which in my case is colima and VS Code with the dev container extension.
When learning a new language, I usually rewrite a simple app to calculate sales commissions. See commissions.jl in /src
