Julia has hit the TIOBE index top 20. This is the first time in history! Born about 13 years ago, Julia is a really young programming language. So what makes Julia unique? Why does it deserve this top 20 position? Julia is especially used in the data science and mathematical computation world. But we already have got top 20 contenders in this field such as Python, R and MATLAB. So why then Julia?
Interesting that TIOBE places it at 20th when the Stack Overflow survey puts it at 36th, with only 1.15%.
It does make you wonder whether any of these indexes have any accuracy at all.
