Jabari Zakiya has published a new article on Forem:

> Hi. This is my first program of any substance done in Julia. It was told Julia is easy to program...

I hope you enjoy reading it.  
This time there are specific performance questions asked comparing Ruby code against a Julia translation.

Oh no, the article links a paper claiming to have proved the centuries-old Goldbach’s conjecture. Similar content has been posted here before:

If you’re REALLY interested in the math also check out these: and its video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCUiPknHtfY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCUiPknHtfY) So far I’ve personally implemented the algorithm in 6 different languages.

FYI.  
My paper: _**Proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture and Bertrand’s Postulate Using Prime Generator Theory (PGT)**_ was just published in the International Journal of Mathematics and Computer Research (IJMCR).
