We all are pretty familiar with Python language for it’s easy syntax and elegant philosophy of keeping things simple. The only problem with python is it’s slower than other languages like C,C++,Java etc. However Python is one of the popular languages in today’s time. It’s widely used in Data Science field with it’s huge collection of 3rd party modules.

Julia looks very similar to Python but it beats Python in it’s speed benchmark. In my opinion in next 3–4 years Julia will stand against the python head to head. Julia was first released in 2012 and when I am writing this Julia 1.6.2 has been released in July 2021. Python’s Developer's are constantly updating the Python Language for it’s better speed, Julia has achieved this in it’s early release. In future we might get some good advantage over this competition.

Let’s see how we can install Julia on windows 11. (you can also consider 7,8,10 versions as well )

Go to their official website The Julia Programming Language (julialang.org)

If you have Jupyter Notebook installed on PC you can use IJulia package to use Julia in your Notebook. To install open the Julia terminal from above steps.

using Pkg
Pkg.add("Package Name") #Type "IJulia" instead of Package Name

Now if you go to Notebook you will find the Julia There. Have a good day :)
