Julia and Python are often seen as competitors, but in this video I want to show the integration between them. Using the PythonCall and the JuliaCall packages we can call Julia from Python and Python from Julia.

There are currently two ways to integrate Python in Julia and Julia in Python. These two main packages are PyCall and PythonCall and their corresponding Python package.
I have talked about PyCall in a series of blog posts in the past, comparing Python being improved by C++ and Python being improved by Julia up to the point that we actually made the Julia code faster than the C++ code in this specific instance.
Now I’m going to talk about the PythonCall package and the corresponding JuliaCall package which are newer.

I have a new video up about how Julia cannot even handle simple math! Check the video out or check an edited written version below.

Introduction

Julia is supposed to be a great programming language, but it can’t even do simple math correctly.
Take a look at this:

julia> 0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3
5.551115123125783e-17

It should be zero, but it’s actually not.
