# Julia

> A dynamic language designed for numerical and scientific computing with strong support for parallel computing and multiple dispatch.

A high-level, general-purpose dynamic programming language designed for numerical and scientific computing, as well as a variety of other applications such as data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling, and simulation. Julia's distinctive design features include a type system with parametric polymorphism, multiple dispatch as a core programming paradigm, a just-in-time compiler with support for ahead-of-time compilation, and efficient garbage collection. The language also provides strong support for parallel and distributed computing, and has a built-in package manager and extensive interoperability with other programming languages.
