This Month in Julia World

1 August 2025 | Stefan Krastanov

A monthly newsletter, mostly on julia internals, digestible for casual observers. A biased, incomplete, editorialized list of what a clique of us found interesting this month, with contributions from the community.

For recent news on Julia and interesting conversations with community members, check out the JuliaDispatch podcast (on many platforms, including youtube and spotify). Highlights from the newsletter get discussed (with more context) during some episodes.

JuliaCon happened two weeks ago. Here is the full list of talks, well worth perusing. Here are some of my favorite highlights (well-formatted recordings will be uploaded to the Julia youtube channel over the next few weeks, but you can already immediately access the raw recordings of live streams and find the timestamp of each talk yourself):

And if JuliaCon Global left you wanting more, don’t forget to book your tickets for JuliaCon Local Paris (October 2nd & 3rd, right after PyData Paris). The early bird pricing expires in 10 days and they are starting to announce some very cool plenary speakers, including familiar faces. Ticket link: https://pretix.eu/pydata/juliaconparis25/
