Julia Computing
Julia provides many different numeric types, including signed and unsigned integers, floating point numbers, rationals, arbitrary precision numbers, and irrational constants. The type hierarchy and multiple dispatch allow all these different types to be used together. For most operations, this is handled via promotion to common type, however comparisons such as equalities and inequalities are handled in a more complicated manner, in order to obtain the mathematically correct result.
Simon started using Julia in 2012. He promptly found a bug. Since then, he’s made some pull requests, created some packages, and spent a lot of time waiting for tests to finish running (arguably not as much as he should).
