      The Julia manual describes methods as behavior selected by the types of all function
      arguments, which is multiple dispatch.

## TL;DR

Julia is a technical-computing language known for multiple dispatch and a JIT compilation pipeline built on LLVM infrastructure.

## Core Explanation

This repair replaces unsupported future sources with the Julia paper and current Julia documentation. The remaining claims are limited to design goals, dispatch semantics, and JIT implementation.
