I'm seeing more new data books and courses on Julia. Curious if this is something we should be adding to our toolbelt if not already 🤔

@kedeisha I haven't learned it, so I can't really add a lot :). Going to express an uninformed opinion anyways! My take is it is great if you really care about programming languages, but if you just want to get a job done and make code that is in a language lots of other people are familiar with, can build off of big code bases, it may still be best to work in whatever language is most common in your field. I think I'm in a slightly different field than you, more ML than data science, so, for me, it is currently Python, but I've been programming for like 25 years and it seems to change every 7ish years :).

@kristinmbranson That makes sense. I have been hearing chirps on how Julia is better than python, but once I saw Datacamp create a course I was curious what the demand for Julia was in the market. I never knew there was one.

@kristinmbranson Rather didn't realize there was any demand for Julia programmers in the data space
