Computational Physics
Fall semester 2025
Quote of the week
... I tell my colleagues at MIT that it’s a disservice to students for us standardize on any one programming language for undergraduate education. ... If someone knows only one programming language, I basically assume they don’t know how to program.
Prof. Steven G. Johnson, MIT, in a discussion forum post
... Julia is a niche language, as opposed to being a general programing language. Its primary focus [is] providing a smooth path from fast prototypes to mature ... codebases in numerical computation.
... The relevant question for computer languages is not relative popularity, but whether they can build a self-sustaining model for the long run. Julia has cleared that bar a while ago.
