The Julia Language and C++ - The Perfect Marriage

Explore the Julia programming language and its interfaces with C++ in this comprehensive conference talk from C++Now 2018. Learn about Julia's high-level features, performance comparable to C++, and strong focus on scientific computing. Discover two methods for using C++ libraries within Julia: Cxx.jl and CxxWrap.jl. Gain insights into Julia's multiple dispatch system, zero-overhead FFI to C++, and ability to interface at any level of abstraction. Follow along with interactive tutorials on using Cxx.jl and CxxWrap.jl, and examine examples and benchmarks demonstrating Julia's capabilities. By the end of this talk, understand how Julia can serve as an excellent high-level companion to C++ libraries, offering fast performance and easy integration for scientific computing applications.
