Learn how to develop large-scale astronomy software in Julia through the creation of Comrade and the EHTJulia ecosystem for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) analysis. Explore the practical experience of building software that has enabled breakthrough scientific discoveries, including the first analysis of Sagittarius A*, images of M87* in 2018, and ongoing Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) analyses. Discover strategies for convincing astronomy organizations to adopt Julia and effective approaches for teaching early career scientists to use and contribute to scientific software development. Examine both the successes and areas for improvement when using Julia in astronomical research, with insights from developing software that is becoming the standard stack for the Event Horizon Telescope and future projects like the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX). Gain understanding of how Julia's features have facilitated major astronomical discoveries and learn practical lessons from implementing complex scientific computing solutions in the astronomy domain.
