Julia's Adventures in Wonderland

Multiple dispatch is the ability to dispatch a function based on the number and the run time types of its arguments. The Julia programming language uses multiple dispatch as its main paradigm, and this has been a central design concept of the language from its inception. [Read More]

Yesterday a question in the Julia’s Slack channel (request an invite here!) prompted a lively discussion about how to deal with pointers in Julia. As the history of the channel is ephemeral, I wrote this post to keep note of some interesting points. [Read More]

I’ve recently started coding in Python more than I’ve used to, and it’s interesting for me to have a closer look to its features and compare them with similar Julia’s ones. [Read More]

Cosmology.jl is the cosmology calculator for Julia. After you define a cosmological model, you can use it to perform some operations like computation of angular diameter distance or comoving radial distance at given redshift values, or calculate the age of the Universe in a certain cosmological model at a specific...

In the last days I worked on a very little package: AstroImages.jl. Written in the Julia programming language and part of the JuliaAstro organization, this package provides simple tools to visualize astronomical images saved in FITS files. [Read More]
