Hi yt-er's,
I just wanted to email the list and let everyone know about a new package I've developed called YT (yes, in caps), which as of today has its first release as v0.1.0.
YT is a wrapper for yt for the Julia programming language. Julia is a new(-ish) high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing. If you want to learn more about Julia, visit http://julialang.org. One of the most important things to note about Julia is that it has a "just-in-time" compiler, so it can be very fast (within a factor of few of C speed in some cases). There is also a lot of interoperability between Julia and Python, including wrappers for Matplotlib and Sympy, and even an extension of the IPython (soon to be Jupyter) notebook!
A short summary of what YT exposes from yt in Julia:
* Datasets
* Some data objects (e.g., spheres, rectangular regions, slices, projections, profiles, etc.)
* YTArrays and YTQuantities
* Simple visualization tools (e.g., SlicePlot, ProjectionPlot, FixedResolutionBuffer)
To find out more about the YT package, visit the documentation:

or the GitHub project page:

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the spam.
Best,
John Z
