Discussion on Julia

Starting a thread here for Julia discussions.

Sir, you mentioned that Python packages can be imported in Julia. So does this mean we can run any .py file using Julia?

p.s. The talk was really interesting and informative.

See https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl. Julia is not executing your python code. For example, you can use matplotlib for plotting in Julia. Here's an example from the PyCall readme:

using PyCall
math = pyimport("math")
math.sin(math.pi / 4) # returns ≈ 1/√2 = 0.70710678...

A matplotlib example:

plt = pyimport("matplotlib.pyplot")
x = range(0;stop=2*pi,length=1000); y = sin.(3*x + 4*cos.(2*x));
plt.plot(x, y, color="red", linewidth=2.0, linestyle="--")
plt.show()

I looked up https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl. I understand how arbitrary Python libraries are imported and functions are called. This is cool.
What is more cool is using py"""...""" similar to Python's eval and exec. Excellent 😎
