A programming language to heal the planet together: Julia | Alan Edelman | TEDxMIT

Even as the climate is warming, there is so little we know about it today. Computational modeling is how climate scientists reconcile our understanding of climate with what we observe. Traditionally, these models would have been written in Fortran, but today’s climate emergency needs tools that are significantly easier to work with. Julia was built for this purpose and makes it easy for everybody focused on solving the problem to work together effectively. No more silos; we must now be part of an interconnected world.
