Pluto for education Pluto.jl is a programming environment designed specifically for education! If you are planning to teach a scientific course, Pluto might be a good fit for you and your students. Pluto only works with Julia, which is a great language for scientific education. Pluto is designed specifically for Julia, and addresses the needs that we had ourselves when teaching course

Preferimos pocos principios de funcionamiento y componentes que se interconectan formas poderosas y que funcionan en una amplia varidad de máquinas, desde memorias USB, hasta computadoras modestas o servidores potentes

Puedes publicar lo que quieras, en el formato que quieras, sin que nadie te monitoree. Adicionalmente, compartes enlaces permanentes, que siempre funcionarán, bien sean simples y legibles en tu propio dominio (como ejemplo.com/ideas) o cipherlinks, que funcionan incluso si no tienes un dominio, este cambia o está caído/inaccesible.

The success has been such that the foursome joined forces with two others to create Julia Computing, the commercial advisory arm for the language. Setting up the commercial arm was a positive but nerve-racking moment, Shah said. Indeed, he pegged it as the most difficult time for Julia: “It was less to do with Julia and more [to do with] how we can make it self-sustaining. We knew it was the right time, but at the same time, it was scary to imagine doing that.”

That such a language didn’t exist frustrated Karpinski, and he expressed the sentiment to his friend Viral Shah toward the end of his time at UC Santa Barbara. Shah, who had previously worked at Interactive Supercomputing for Alan Edelman—an MIT professor and world-renowned mathematician responsible for Edelman’s law—and had since moved to Bengaluru, India, to work on a countrywide biometric identification project, agreed. So did Jeff Bezanson, a colleague of Shah’s at Interactive Supercomputing, as well as Edelman himself.

“We were really just building something for ourselves,” said Julia co-creator Stefan Karpinski, a Harvard Mathematics alum with a PhD in computer science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. (Karpsinki also set a Guinness World Record in 2006 for the fastest single-fare journey across the whole of New York City’s subway system; he’s a determined guy who doesn’t like to waste time.)

Like many revolutionary changes in human history, it started with a flash of frustration. Today, Julia is ranked among the top programming languages, and is deployed by the likes of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, NASA, and Uber. But when its creators started building it nearly a decade ago, their goal was a lot smaller.
