Basics

Comments

Comments do not get evaluated 

# Single line comment
#=
Comments can also spread over multiple lines
if you enclose them with this syntax
=#
x = 2;          # comments can be added at the end of lines

Unicode support

You can enter Unicode characters via tab completion of LaTeX : 

\omega		 # press TAB
\sum         # press TAB
\sqrt	     # press TAB
\in          # press TAB
\:phone:     # press TAB

Quotes

Notice the difference between single and double quotes: 

typeof("a")
typeof('a')

println("This is a string")
println('Ouch')

Sourcing a file

include() sources a Julia script: 

include("/path/to/file.jl")
