Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to the brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Noether revolutionized the methods of modern physics by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The third image is her grave marker.

A = [1, 2, 3]
B = [3, 4, 5]
x = 9
x ∈ A ∪ B # -> false
Writing code using symbols in Julia feels like scribbling in a math notebook — except this one actually runs. It takes some time to get habituated, but then you get hooked.

I just released Raycore.jl - a high-performance ray tracing engine for Julia with CPU and GPU support!
It will power a new photorealistic rendering backend for Makie.jl, but we made it modular and flexible to support any other use case

I was happy to find out recently that my book _Practical Julia_ will be translated into Russian. I'll be back with an announcement when it’s available.
