Julia can be used be people from a young age (e.g. a 15-year-old<ref name="Tanmay"/> has used and written a book on Julia) to any age, and Julia is commonly used in universities.⏎

Distinctive aspects of Julia's design include a type system with [[parametric polymorphism]] in a [[dynamic programming language]]; with [[multiple dispatch]] as its core [[programming paradigm]], meaning it provides the ability to define function behavior across many combinations of argument types.

Julia 1.0 was released on 8 August 2018. Bugfix releases are expected roughly monthly, for 1.4.x and 1.0.x and Julia 1.0.1, up to 1.0.5 have followed that schedule. JuliaPro version 1.4.0-1 is also out.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://juliacomputing.com/|title=Julia Computing|website=juliacomputing.com|access-date=2019-09-15}}</ref>

Julia has attracted some high-profile users, from investment manager [[BlackRock]], which uses it for [[time-series analytics]], to the British insurer [[Aviva]], which uses it for [[risk calculations]]. In 2015, the [[Federal Reserve Bank of New York]] used Julia to make models of the US economy, noting that the language made model estimation "about 10 times faster" than its previous [[MATLAB]] implementation. Julia's co-founders established Julia Computing in 2015 to provide paid support, t(contracted; show full)rg|accessdate=18 November 2014}}</ref> Code that can be tested inside the Julia's interactive section or saved into a file with a <code>.jl</code> extension and run from the command line by typing:<ref name="Learn Julia in Y">{{cite web|url=https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/julia/ |title=Learn Julia in Y Minutes |website=Learnxinyminutes.com |date= |accessdate=2017-05-31}}</ref>
