That is pretty funny, I spent time writing market optimisation for energy companies.
The reason people use Julia in that area is JuMP code is VERY easy to write, and maintain.
- 7thaccount 7y agoYes it's nice, but there is also multiple Python libraries (Pyomo and Pulp) as well as numerous domain specific languages for solvers such as (GAMS, AIMMS, AMPL...etc). As someone who really likes Julia, it probably isn't enough of a difference here to justify a new product. It is an excellent choice for them to make I think.
- oxinabox 7y agoWe are largely using Julia since it is more suitable than Python for pursing novel approaches, rather than using off the shelf packages. Further, the packages are more flexible and we can easily make PRs to improve them without e.g. having to write C, and we often do just that.
