We will repeat the basics of julia in a very condensed manner by going through steps 1-7 of MoJuWo live in class.
julia REPL: 
VScode: 
Notice how there is a julia REPL running as part of the VSCode editor. This is called an integrated development environment (IDE). Very similar to an R session connected to RStudio, or the python interpreter being run through PyCharm etc.
We used several Pluto.jl notebooks in this lecture. Here are four rendered ones:
| Topic | Notebook |
|---|---|
| Variables | click for notebook (done in Intro to Programming) |
| Functions | click for notebook (done in Intro to Programming) |
| Arrays | click for notebook |
| SIR Model | click for notebook |
Please run the 01-fast.jl notebook on your own computer for the benchmarks! 🏎️
In this section we want to understand why julia is a good choice for computational tasks - for Economists and others.
Slides for intro: Why Julia? (does not run in my safari browser! 🤷🏻♂️)
