Hi everybody!

I have been out of the Julia space for a while, since I have been developing for different purposes than before using Rust instead of Julia.

I can see why Julia is amazing and why it is probably the best language out there for scientific computation. For that reason, I built two nuclear reactor physics packages in the past:

- [RayTracing.jl](https://github.com/rvignolo/RayTracing.jl)
- [NeutronTransport.jl](https://github.com/rvignolo/NeutronTransport.jl)

However, I am noticing that almost no one is taking the advantage of such packages. I thought that at this point many nuclear engineers around the world would have seen the benefits of Julia (as I did in the past) and move to this beautiful language. I have not done any active campaign for promoting such packages. So, I was wondering how can I make them more visible for the community?

Thank you ❤ !

One idea would be to write one or two articles for [https://forem.julialang.org/](https://forem.julialang.org/)
