> JuliaBox is the number one choice for universities teaching Julia since students can get started with Julia in seconds with no installation required.

I don't understand. Julia is not stable at all yet. Who would want to teach it now? What would be the point?

I recently used Julia in my numerical analysis course and it worked well for the most part. We couldn't use it for some of the larger projects because it wasn't as optimized as MATLAB for certain matrix operations. However, it was great most of the time and better than using MATLAB on the university computers.

Implementing a missing matrix operator might make a great class project for a numerical methods course. ;)
