# Julia

From ArchWiki
Note: https://julialang.org/ has beautiful and open-source documentation, non-Arch-specific information should be contributed there.

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for numerical computing. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library.

## Installation

Install either julia or julia-binAUR. While the package in the Arch Linux repository works fine for many users, it may crash when installing some specific libraries (e.g. LLVM, LLVMExtra). The AUR package provides official builds compiled against patched LLVM libs. To learn and use Julia, please read upstream documents.

## Integration with editors

### Vim

#### Syntax highlighting and more

julia-vim

#### Linting

The julialint plugin combined with the Lint.jl package can provide linting.

### Emacs

#### Syntax highlighting

julia-emacs.

#### Linting

lsp-julia: provides linting using the LSP protocol.

#### REPL integration

julia-repl: for interacting with a Julia REPL running inside Emacs.
