+ Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for
+ technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other
+ technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler,
+ distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive
+ mathematical function library. The library, mostly written in Julia itself,
+ also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear
+ algebra, random number generation, FFTs, and string processing. More
+ libraries continue to be added over time. Julia programs are organized
+ around defining functions, and overloading them for different combinations
+ of argument types (which can also be user-defined).
