Julia is closing in on the TIOBE Top 20 again 🚀 Picking up ground in the scientific computing space it's always excelled in, exactly where Dyad brings Julia's speed + SciML power to model-based engineering. #julialang #dyad #physicalai www.techrepublic.com/article/news...

TIOBE Index September 2026: Julia Nears Top 20
September 2026 TIOBE Index keeps the top 10 unchanged, as Python falls below 18%, C++ widens its lead over Java, and Julia nears the top 20.

Idle coding: an API for tides in France at api-maree.fr #julialang Answered old q of mine: Q: how much bigger are tides in Brittany than elsewhere in France? A: lot higher in northern Brittany & the Straits of Dover than elsewhere, particularly lower Atlantic coast (date: Aug 12 last, spring tide)
Bare map of France (a string of ports on the Channel and Atlantic coasts, with no other detail) where the tidal range for each port is represented by a circle of varying size

function distance(p::Point{T}, q::Point{T}) where T <: Real
    return sqrt((q.x - p.x)^2 + (q.y - p.y)^2)
end

function centroid(points::Vector{Point{T}}) where T <: Real
    x = mean([point.x for point in points])
    y = mean([point.y for point in points])
    Tnew = promote_type(typeof(x), typeof(y))
    return Point{Tnew}(x, y)
end

end #module

using .MyGeometry

p = Point(3, 4)
q = Point(0, 0)

@assert distance(p, q) == 5.0
@assert p isa Point{Int}
@assert typeof(p) === Point{Int}
@assert p + q == Point(3, 4)
@assert p - q == Point(3, 4)
@assert MyGeometry.centroid([Point(1, 2), Point(3, 4), Point(5, 6)]) == Point(3.0, 4.0)
