Julia is a modern programming language that is of particular interest to scientists due to its high performance combined with language features such as Lisp-style macros, an advanced type system, and multiple dispatch. We last looked at Julia in January on the occasion of its 1.11 release. Early in October Julia 1.12 appeared, bringing a handful of quality-of-life improvements for Julia programmers, most notably support, though still experimental and limited, for the creation of binaries.
