In this chapter, we noted that Julia is a language that is built from the ground up for high performance. Its design and implementation have always been focused on providing the highest possible performance on a modern CPU.
The rest of the book will show you how to use the power of Julia fully, to write the fastest possible code in this language. In the next chapter, we will discuss how to measure the speed of Julia code, and identify performance bottlenecks. You will also learn about some of the tools that are built into Julia for this purpose.
