JuliaCon 2015: What's going on at JuliaTokyo?

http://juliacon.org/

JuliaTokyo is a community for Julia enthusiasts in Japan.

From basic tutorial to macros & parallel computing, Deep Learning to AI Japanese chess, and even an unofficial anime character, we are having a variety of activities at JuliaTokyo.

In this presentation I would like to introduce how Julia is gaining its popularity in Japan, what we’ve been doing at JuliaTokyo, and how we want to interact with the rest of the world in the future.
