Anthony is joined by Viral Shah, Jeff Bezanson and Stefan Karpinski, three of the creators of the Julia programming language (4:50). They discuss what type of questions were brought up at Julia Day for Finance (10:00), which was held Wednesday in New York, and what should and shouldn't be expected for the release of Julia 1.0 (14:10). Anthony then asks the trio about concerns some have brought up about the language regarding its maturity (16:22) and the chance that other languages such as Python or R could eventually offer similar speeds as Julia (20:15). He also asks how Julia will aim to help firms weed through the massive amounts of data they are dealing with (23:55) and if the programming language can be used as a recruiting tool for attracting young programmers (28:45). Finally, the founders discuss use cases for Julia outside of finance and economics (31:45).

Why recent failures are a catalyst for DLT’s success
