Note that while Julia Computing and Julia are different entities, the former is the employer of most of the top contributors to Julia. Lots of this grant will probably go into paying for additional features for `DifferentialEquations.jl` or compiler work necessary to speed up some of this code.
Apparently 4 of the 6 founders of Julia Computing are the 4 creators of Julia.
I have no problem at all with the award, company, or its employees and founders - just the accuracy of the headline.
Yeah, I think most people on this site are going to first assume the language.
It's also weirdly editorialized, since the original title also says "Julia Computing"
I think the original hit the very small character limit on HN
Impossible. That has 84 characters. Also, since it doesn’t seem possible for a language to receive grant money, I don’t think there is much chance for a dangerous level of confusion.
