Jeff Bezanson’s Abstraction in Technical Computing

Yesterday, I went to Jeff Benzaon’s thesis defense. It was my first time spectating a defense live (I watched Sir Rice’s defense virtually), so I was super excited!

Jeff was presenting on Julia, a programming language.

It was a great presentation and I learned neat stuffs. I’m sure I could’ve gotten a lot more out of it I wasn’t such a complete novice at programming language theory.

Best quote:

I don’t think people will adopt some new syntax for a language they already know, but will fully embrace an entirely new language. ~ Jeff

Hope I get to sneak into more of these defenses. They’re super sweet. 😀
