Julia as a second language

The Julia language, originally developed for high-performance data processing, has become a general-purpose programming language that perfectly combines simplicity, flexibility, and performance. It offers convenient functional capabilities for developers: garbage collection, dynamic typing, a flexible approach to concurrency, and distributed computing. This book introduces the reader to the Julia language and demonstrates all its aspects - from basic syntax to advanced functionality - using a series of projects. It describes the application of basic types and data structures in simulating a rocket launch, the use of dictionaries for interpreting Roman numerals, and multiple dispatch in Julia in a simulated battle between knights and archers. Along the way, you will compare object-oriented and functional programming styles - the Julia language supports both! This edition is suitable for readers already familiar with any programming language, such as Python, JavaScript, or C#.
