Julia Dispatch
Juliet & Romeo with Jesper Öqvist and Philip Olhager

Today we're joined by Jesper and Philip from Cognibotics, a Swedish robotics company that has (co-)developed something truly unique: Juliet, a statically-typed dialect of Julia designed specifically for real-time robot programming, along with its runtime system Romeo. Our guests share their personal journeys to Julia and explain how they've adapted the language for industrial robotics applications. They introduce us to Juliet's fascinating features, including static typing, real-time garbage collection, and perhaps most impressively, reversible robot programming that allows forward and backward program stepping for interactive debugging. The conversation explores how they use multiple dispatch for hardware abstraction across different robot backends and hardware targets, their partnership with Chinese robot manufacturer Estun for real-world deployment, and their approach to real-time systems programming. Jesper and Philip also discuss the technical challenges they've overcome, including optimization constraints and the limitations they've had to accept when adapting multiple dispatch for real-time environments. They share their plans for open source access, educational applications including course development at Lund University, and how their work bridges the gap between academic research and industrial automation.


Jesper and Philip are developers at Cognibotics, a Swedish robotics company focused on advanced robot programming solutions. Their work centers around Juliet, a statically-typed dialect of Julia they've created specifically for real-time robot programming, paired with the Romeo runtime system. Cognibotics has formed partnerships with industrial robot manufacturers including Estun, bringing their innovative programming approach to real-world manufacturing applications. The company is also developing educational programs, including plans for courses at Lund University and beta program access for researchers and developers interested in real-time Julia applications.

Julia Gender Inclusive and DEI with Firoozeh Dastur, Leticia Madureira, and Skylar Gering

We're back from our surprising hiatus with a very exciting round: Firoozeh, Leticia and Skylar. Their Julia journeys crossed in their engagement with the Julia Gender Inclusive and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives. We briefly talk about their personal stories before delving into the inclusiveness topic. We discuss the impression and perspective of female participants at a so far male-dominated JuliaCon. The ladies share with us all the activities they have been involved in. And we dive into what problem's they perceive and how everybody in the community can help make Julia a more inclusive community.


Firoozeh Dastur is a theoretical mathematician specializing in algebraic and tropical geometry with a strong focus on leveraging computer algebra systems for advanced mathematical research. Her other interests include high-performance computing (HPC) tools, with a particular goal of making distributed computing accessible to all domain scientists. As a passionate educator, Firoozeh is committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment that empowers the next generation of researchers and innovators. In her spare time, she develops Julia libraries that reflect her interests in distributed computing and computer algebra systems.


Leticia Madureira is a PhD candidate in Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research lies in the computational quantum chemistry field, applying electronic structure methods to elucidate interactions in chemical processes, such as polymerization reactions, photodegradation, etc. She currently collaborates with the Julia Lab in developing fast, free, open-source and efficient computer programs for electronic structure calculations, and expanding the scope of current methods available in the programming language. Some of the packages under development are: BasisSets.jl, OohataHuzinaga.jl, under the HartreeFoca GitHub organization. She aims to leverage computational studies to investigate theoretical paradigms in Chemistry by developing quantum chemical DFT-based algorithms capable of accurately computing electron-electron correlation in molecules through stability analysis of SCF, enabling broader exploration of transition-state theory, excited state dynamics, ground state geometry predictions and bond dissociation calculations. One of her main philosophies is to make theory and computation as accessible as possible, and to promote computational thinking in Chemistry through teaching, as she thinks quality education is an empowerment tool to the current and next generations of scientists, and teaching is the most noble academic activity!


Skylar Gering is a PhD student through the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Joint Program. Her research is focused on environmental fluid mechanics, specifically the performance and control of floating offshore wind turbines. She previously worked on climate and sea ice modeling, which led her to start using Julia. She is also a contributor to the computational geometry library GeometryOps.jl.

JulGame with Kyle Conel

We start the year with a first: first time Chris and Michael meet a stranger through Julia Dispatch. Today, we have Kyle Conel on the show who is the main developer of the game engine JulGame. Kyle shares with us how an early passion about video games has made him switch majors in college to become a software developer. He talks about how he's learning by doing, how you can start in Julia with an object-oriented mind set and only later take full advantage of the multiple dispatch paradigm, and his plans to (eventually) publish a game developed in Julia to Steam.


Kyle Conel is a professional software engineer, currently working at Atlassian. In his spare time, though, his passion is game development. He's stumbled across Julia via a random Google search in 2021 and he's started to create a game engine in Julia. He shares his development progress and some insights via his social media accounts on Twitch and Youtube.


Apologies for the audio quality during the first 20 or so minutes of this episode. Michael needs to get better headphones.

Static Compilation of Julia with Jeff Bezanson

Today, we talk with someone who might or might not be the man himself, but is definitely one of the co-creators of the Julia programming language: Jeff Bezanson. Jeff shares with us some of the origin story of Julia and how multiple dispatch found its way into the language. Then, we dig a bit deeper into the recent advancements of static compilation of Julia. Jeff explains why we had to wait so long, what the difficult design decisions have been, and the additional hurdles that had to be cleared.

Jeff Bezanson is one of the reasons this podcast exists, because he is one of the co-creators of Julia. Together with his co-creators Stefan Karpinski, Viral Shah and Alan Edelman, he is also the co-founder of JuliaHub Inc. of which Jeff is currently the CTO. Together with Stefan and Viral, he was awarded the J. H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software in 2019. He once stated that one of his favorite channels is hashtag gripes because he wants to know the pain points where Julia can still be improved the most.
