Introduction

Julia is a modern programming
language with a fairly large package ecosystem (currently ~10k packages)
that provide all kinds of useful functionality to build on. Packages are
registered in a global registry called General, which is
installed by default by the package manager, allowing users to easily
add and use registered packages.
