Hi Paul,

Have you heard of "Julia" language?

JFYI,
As can be seen in its official page at https://julialang.org/ and a Wikipedia
article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_(programming_language),
it looks like one of promising answers to perfbook's Section 2.2 "Parallel
Programming Goals".

As long as high-performance number crunching is concerned, it claims to have
comparable performance to C, with a programming productivity much better
than C + MPI.

Note: I'm not a user of the language at the moment. I just heard of it at
a twitter hashtag #julialang.

I'd like you to check it up and (hopefully) update the above mentioned
section in perfbook.

      Thanks, Akira
