A comment on Julia on Google TPU: Shakespeare RNN.

I’ve been using Julia for a project at work and it’s been a pretty fantastic experience.

I’ve only being doing some analysis stuff at the moment, but I’ve got a few machine learning/NLP projects coming up that I’m super excited to use Julia and Flux for!

Package compilation or code compilation?

Package compilation was painless, code compilation isn't really noticeable once it starts running and the benefits you get from native speed are evident. I recently learnt that the IO functions are async as well (powered by libUV!) and the parallelism is easily an order of magnitude nicer to work with than Python's (and it's only going to get better).
