We have a new social media account for the Julia Programming Language! [image] Julia Language (@julialang.org) Hello @bsky.app from the #JuliaLang community! We're excited to start posting here on Bluesky in addition to our other social media, all of which can be found here: julialang…

I welcome Julia on a new media.

And I would love it if political discourse and judgement of this or that platform were not relevant (and ignored) when discussing a programming language.
