RFC 6143 Remote Framebuffer Protocol

The “Remote Framebuffer Protocol”, which does exactly what you’d think it would. The fun part is that it’s even supported as a subprotocol under Websockets.

Julia Language

Julia Language

The Julia dynamic, technical language, for efficient, distributed development. It also built on LLVM, and has the beautiful IJulia interface. From the homepage:

  • Multiple dispatch: providing ability to define function behavior across many combinations of argument types
  • Dynamic type system: types for documentation, optimization, and dispatch
  • Good performance, approaching that of statically-compiled languages like C
  • Built-in package manager
  • Lisp-like macros and other metaprogramming facilities
  • Call Python functions: use the PyCall package
  • Call C functions directly: no wrappers or special APIs
  • Powerful shell-like capabilities for managing other processes
  • Designed for parallelism and distributed computation
  • Coroutines: lightweight “green” threading
  • User-defined types are as fast and compact as built-ins
  • Automatic generation of efficient, specialized code for different argument types
  • Elegant and extensible conversions and promotions for numeric and other types
  • Efficient support for Unicode, including but not limited to UTF-8
  • MIT licensed: free and open source
