Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the built-in functionality Julia has to offer in its standard library. We also took a peek at some of the more useful packages to apply in the data sciences.

We hope that you now have a clear overview of Julia's capabilities and it's time to put them to some good use as in the next chapter you will be creating your first Julia app.
