Summary
In this milestone 100th episode, Lucas and Luna examine Julia's surprising traction in 2026 — from the Gordon Bell Prize-winning simulation that ran on 1.3 million cores to its quiet adoption inside pharmaceutical R&D at Pfizer and AstraZeneca. They unpack why Julia's 'two-language problem' solution is finally convincing engineers who once swore by Python+Fortran, how MIT's continued stewardship has kept the language focused, and what the 1.12 release's new GPU compiler means for machine learning workflows. If you've dismissed Julia as an academic curiosity, this episode will make you reconsider. #Julia #JuliaLang #ScientificComputing #HPC #ProgrammingLanguages #Tech #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #Python #Fortran #MIT #GordonBellPrize #GPUCompiler #Pfizer #AstraZeneca #PharmaTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
