Leah Hanson - Julia Programmer
Leah Hanson is a programmer with an interest in lesser-known languages and technologies – Rust, Julia, and the Haiku operating system. A summer of writing OCaml as an intern at Jane Street completely convinced her of the value and practicality of functional programming.
While at Hacker School this spring, she tried out Julia, wrote the WebSockets.jl package, and fell in love with the language. Since then she has given several workshops on Julia and is spending the summer at MIT adding opt-in type “critiquing” (like type checking, but gentler) to the language.
In the fall, she will return to finish an MSE at Johns Hopkins University, where her thesis project will be the continuation of her type critiquing work.
