Stumbled across [thealgorithms.github.io](https://thealgorithms.github.io/#programmingLanguages) and didn’t find Julia in the list of languages, is it worth contributing?

I am not sure about the goal of this page.

I quickly scanned some Python algorithms (which are in the repo as source code). Most of the algorithms there are already available in the Python standard library or 3rd party libraries, often implemented more efficiently.  
Thus, this page is probably not well suited for “copy& paste” programming (which is in general not a good idea). A link to the corresponding libraries (and their source code) would be more helpful imho.  
For pure educational purposes, a concise tutorial would be better than a loose collection of algorithmic implementations.
