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. 😀
