Julia has 250,000 users, and has broad use cases in the domain of applied mathematics. Some of the current use cases of Julia include:
Self driving cars: UC Berkeley researchers use Julia to optimise model predictive control for the Berkeley Autonomous Race Car (BARC).
Astrophysics: Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Intel, and UC Berkeley researchers are using Julia and a NERSC supercomputer to increase the speed of astronomical image analysis by 225 times.
Risk models at Aviva.
Cancer Genomics: UK cancer researchers use Julia to model tumor growth, informing interpretations of cancer genomes.
Aviation: The Federal Aviation Administration is using Julia to develop the Next Generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System.
Asset Management: Conning is using Julia in large scale Monte Carlo simulations for insurance risk assessment solutions.
Julia is a very algorithm-oriented language, and it’s not about business transactions.
