+Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing
+with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments.
+It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and
+an extensive mathematical function library.
+
+The library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and
+Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing.
