I like Julia a lot, but out of curiosity why are you writing a web server in it? I would 100% reach for Python for that use case.

- brandmeyer 5y agoI'm not OP, but I can easily see my team getting into the same situation. Our use case involves dynamically displaying some analysis results on a status page derived from data from the field. The analysis was originally written in Python + scipy + matplotlib (Julia in OP's case). Why write the analysis code a second time just to display it on a demand-generated webpage? You don't have to run the entire website on Julia, but maybe you do want to stand up a couple of RESTful endpoints that are integrated with the rest of the web application. If Julia can't do that, then your options will be limited.
- gbrown 5y agoThat makes sense.
- vletal 5y agoExactly. We are training a very large neural model using [1]. We would not fix much if we decided to embed the Julia code inside a CPython wrapper or something... [1] https://github.com/CTUAvastLab/JsonGrinder.jl https://github.com/CTUAvastLab/JsonGrinder.jl
