The Julia language and C++

This is the companion repository for the C++Now 2018 talk "The Julia Language and C++: The Perfect Marriage?"

The slides are available in the file cppnow2018-julia.ipynb.

To run the tutorial, follow these steps:

1. Install Julia from http://julialang.org
2. From the Julia REPL, install the required packages:

Pkg.add("CxxWrap")
Pkg.add("IJulia")
Pkg.add("BenchmarkTools")
Pkg.add("Cxx") (warning: may take a long time)

3. Start the local notebook server

using IJulia
notebook()

You may also need to get the master version of Cxx, i.e:

Pkg.checkout("Cxx")
Pkg.build("Cxx")
