    Could you expand on how these wraparound bugs happen in Rust? As far as I know, integer overflow panics (i.e. aborts) your code when compiled in debug mode, which I think is often …

    No, you can write the kernels directly in Julia using KernelAbstractions.jl [1]. [1] https://juliagpu.github.io/KernelAbstractions.jl/stable/

    Because adding the top limbs of two encoded numbers would overflow too soon. If you set both to 2^63 for example, they overflow immediately. Might be fine for wraparound arithmetic…

    For aggregation-like things, the interesting properties are often about the properties of the accumulation function, and not the entire aggregation, which should then be correct by…

    50% of the top 100 most starred, i.e. used, packages are not representative of the entire community. Not to mention that the vast majority of those SciML packages is developed by a…

    There is no rebuttal because nothing much has really changed culture wise. Sure, the various @inbounds issues and concrete bugs that are mentioned in Yuris post have mostly been ad…

    Lots of languages can mmap, it's not exclusive to C++ or C. The JSON package the Julia code is using seems to mmap too, for example.

    It would be great if you could share such an example work load - such big examples are often few and far between, even though they are VERY good for debugging compilation performan…

    Can you be more specific? As is, it's hard to follow what the issue was that you encountered.

    There's a lot more than release notes going into a release - we've had 3 release candidates for a reason, and those regressions/bugs need to be fixed first.

    For me personally, I just think it's really fun to write julia code. Granted, I'm neither machine learning nor physical science, but the fact that I can go through the whole stack …

    The authors have previously also shown off that this can do 3D visualization in real time: https://twitter.com/gabrielweymouth/status/16486827416201953...

    There will also be a release blogpost, highlighting the new stuff. The release will likely come with that.

    Are you afraid that you're going to "inherit" the issues the python ecosystem has through your goal of full compatibility? Or is Mojo more like Numba, in that only parts of python …
