Should I Learn Julia? - KDnuggets

Data science is dominated by Python and R programming languages. Its popularity is due to simple syntax, a large community, and open-source contributors. Even on job boards, you will see recruiters looking for developers and data scientists who are good in Python, SQL, and R. But is this likely to change soon? There is a new contender in the town called Julia, which is built for high-performance scientific calculations.
