[ncl-talk] NCAR graphic library in Julia language?

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Oops.  I meant to say, "This would also depend on whether the *NCAR
Graphics* runtime system is compatible with the Julia runtime system."

Also you might consider calling *PyNGL*, the NCAR Graphics Python
interface, directly from Julia.  One again, there would be runtime
compatibility concerns.  These may be uncharted waters.
