No, Julia is not statically typed and will outperform pretty much anything, at least when dealing with numerical code.
Next generation climate models are built with Julia. You would not pick a slow language for such a high performance dependent task.
- otabdeveloper4 6y agoJulia is statically typed, or at least it is for the inner bottleneck loops. If you want fast numeric code in Julia then you have to have homogeneous arrays. (Besides, I'd be very surprised if Julia doesn't have Fortran libraries driving it under the hood.) You're confusing dynamic typing and type inference.
- junippor 6y agohttps://julialang.org/ https://julialang.org/ > Julia is dynamically typed, feels like a scripting language, and has good support for interactive use. Literally on the front page.
- dklend122 6y agoJulia can also generate fast code for arrays of small unions
- eigenspace 6y agoJulia is not statically typed semantically. It has the semantics of a dynamic language. As an implementation detail, it has a statically typed intermediate representation that's used for very aggressive and impressive optimization. But that's an implementation detail, and is not what most people mean when they talk about a language being dynamically or statically typed.
