  Adaptive optics systems are usually prototyped in a convenient but slow
language like MATLAB or Python, and then re-written from scratch using
high-performance C/C++ to perform real-time control. This duplication of effort
adds costs and slows the experimentation process. We present instead a
technical demonstration of performing real time, sub-millisecond latency
control with an adaptive optics system using the high-level Julia programming
language. This open-source software demonstrates support for multiple cameras,
pixel streaming, and network-transparency distributed computing. Furthermore,
it is easy to interface it with other programming languages as desired.
