> Following up the [Julia session at the last PyHEP workshop](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1019958/timetable/#b-424630-plenary-julia-in-hep), a study of potential of this programming language for HEP is being launched within the PyHEP WG of HSF. The goal is to write a report that will describe its potential, the possible challenges and recommendations on its usage. Julia is a fast-growing language that offers performance of C++ with the easiness of code writing of Python.

> We invite all persons interested in participating in this work to get in contact with Philippe Gras (@grasph) and [Ben Krikler](https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/ben-e-krikler). A list of topics to address have been identified and can be found in [https://codimd.web.cern.ch/s/lSgzYb1bo](https://codimd.web.cern.ch/s/lSgzYb1bo). We will appreciate if you can indicate in your message the particular aspect(s) or topic(s) you are interested in.

> The workshop will focus on discussions and hands-on work. The goal is the preparation of the report.
If you’re interested in High-Energy Physics (HEP) or just want to support an important scientific community getting on board with Julia, do join us on Monday!

The host at HSF told us this workshop will be a discussion on Julia for HEP forward, presumably people will talk about the various needs in HEP (from MC generation, analysis, statistical inference) and how’s the ecosystem in Julia.
