“Julia is comparable to Python for simple machine learning tasks and better for complex ones”
The initial release of the Julia programming language was eight years ago, in 2012. Last week, we spoke to the four creators of the language, Dr. Viral B. Shah, Dr. Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski and Prof. Alan Edelman, to find out whether Julia has been able to live up to their high expectations. They also went into detail about the various use cases Julia is applied to today, how the language compares to Python, and where it is headed in the future.

The Connected IDE is the gateway to increased developer collaboration (Part 1)
Last week, we launched a new series on developer collaboration. Like the standalone PCs of the 1980s, the personal IDE remains an island detached from the opportunity to improve collaboration for the development team and the company as a whole. A new era of connected IDEs is coming that does not require you to leave behind the IDE you love. Using modern plug-in technologies, your IDE can begin to evolve towards a truly Integrated Development Environment that will make collaboration easier while improving code quality.

Some of the greatest achievements in history were produced by pairs of great minds working side by side on the same task. Software is no exception. In an era of extreme programming, where communication is fundamental to developers working collectively towards the success of a project, the symbiotic nature of software development has never been more apparent. However, with the spread of COVID-19, most software development teams are now distributed and working from home office environments instead. So, how does pair programming work under such circumstances?
