Julia is a high-level dynamic language which was invented out of greed to do more. Unlike other high-level dynamic languages, Julia is really fast. It inherits design tenets from Lisp, builds on the good parts of C, MATLAB, R, Python and Ruby to create a language that is performant and highly productive at the same time.

We are proud to announce the first ever JuliaCon India. It will feature the creators of the language Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, and Viral B Shah, and an enthusiastic contingent of Julia programmers in India. It’s a two-day event consisting of a day-long conference (9th Oct) and a workshop (10th Oct).

Interfacing Julia with other systems- ProtoBuf.jl & JuliaWebAPI.jl

Submitted Sep 15, 2015

Technical level: Beginner

Introduce a couple of packages that make it easy to interface a Julia application with external systems.

Outline

JuliaWebAPI.jl makes exposing Julia methods over HTTP trivial. It can serve as a robust API platform when combined with an appropriate queuing and scaling mechanism.

ProtoBuf.jl is a Julia implementation for protocol buffers which makes it possible for Julia applications communicate with other applications in a distributed, heterogeneous environment. For example, the Elly.jl package uses ProtoBuf extensively to integrate with HDFS and Yarn. However the use cases are many more.
