Julia is an excellent language for microsimulation projects. Julia is competitive with R or Stata for data exploration and statistics. But it’s also an excellent system for complex programming tasks, giving you code that’s easy to write, read, test and maintain, but which often runs as fast as Fortran or C. Just as important, Julia is a lot of fun.
