Hi @clauswrm Claus (first I had @Bredvid seemingly incorrectly...), I heard from robotics/cybernetics student at the University, that Julia is used in algorithmics course. I found it intriguing and meant to add it at https://github.com/JuliaLang/www.julialang.org/blob/main/learning/classes.md myself, after confirming.

[Also FYI, your clausmartinsen.no doesn't work, at least for me, I get error 525.]

I found on the University site the code for seemingly two such classes, at least this one (likely what is taught in cybernetics? and CompSci?), but couldn't confirm from the syllabus Julia is used. Maybe it is no longer. Even if not, it would be good to have the courses on the list. It's the first time I heard such a course taught with Julia. So far it's mostly taught in various (non-software) engineering [departments] usually or more advanced classes.

Are you the professor teaching? It might be better if the PR came from you. I can do it, but can you tell me more, like are even more courses taught using Julia?

I found very intriguing that even at least one high school uses Julia, actually also in Norway, way up north (already on the list). Not sure you would know anything about it, but maybe some other (such) schools or Universities using?

Would you say most students like using Julia? I'm promoting it, even trying to get some to teach as a first course (language), but so far hasn't happened that I know of (anywhere except this high school). It would really help with adoption I would think.
