Description
Julia is a recent programming language, designed for scientific computing and guided by two key objectives: (1) to be easy to use and learn and (2) to be fast. Our aim is to try to motivate digital humanities researchers that use other languages, such as Python or R, to look at Julia. We focus on the easy to use and learn objective by presenting a few selected examples to highlight how straightforward and expressive Julia is. The talk starts with structured data: records, collections and data frames. Then we follow to a single and short example of how to read data from a file into a dataframe, extract relevant records, perform basic statistics and plot a graph.
