julia: Start a REPL (interactive shell).

julia

$ julia

try on your machine

The command "julia" refers to the Julia programming language. Julia is a high-level, high-performance programming language specifically designed for numerical computing and data science.

When the "julia" command is executed, it typically launches the Julia REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop), which provides an interactive interface to write and execute Julia code. The Julia REPL is similar to a command-line interface, where you can enter Julia commands, expressions, or define functions/classes, and immediately see the results of their evaluation.

By running "julia" in the terminal or command prompt, you enter the Julia environment, allowing you to write and execute code directly in Julia. This provides a powerful tool for exploring, prototyping, and developing numerical algorithms, mathematical models, data analysis, and other scientific computing tasks.
