Fix the headline - it should say "Julia Computing Receives DARPA Award to Accelerate Electronics Simulation by 1,000x" The money is going to a company.

  Yeah, I think most people on this site are going to first assume the language.

    I was over here wondering who Julia is
  • Sukera 6y ago
    It's also weirdly editorialized, since the original title also says "Julia Computing"
    • dencodev 6y ago
      I think the original hit the very small character limit on HN

  Note that while Julia Computing and Julia are different entities, the former is the employer of most of the top contributors to Julia. Lots of this grant will probably go into paying for additional features for `DifferentialEquations.jl` or compiler work necessary to speed up some of this code.

    Apparently 4 of the 6 founders of Julia Computing are the 4 creators of Julia.

    I have no problem at all with the award, company, or its employees and founders - just the accuracy of the headline.

  Impossible. That has 84 characters. Also, since it doesn’t seem possible for a language to receive grant money, I don’t think there is much chance for a dangerous level of confusion.
