What is Julia?

Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing”. It is free (open source) and supports Windows, OSX, and Linux. It has a familiar syntax, works well with external libraries, is fast, and has advanced language features like metaprogramming that enable interesting possibilities for graph analysis and modeling software.

What is JuliaGraphs?

JuliaGraphs is an organization that brings together packages written in Julia for using and studying graphs.
