Startup time for plots is down to <0.5s with Julia 1.9 (in beta).

Two tradeoffs to be aware of: 1. Slightly longer compile times at package install time, but that is ok since it is a one time cost. 2. During package development, building a pkgima…

While that is an accurate statement, my go-to package where compile time and startup time was a huge hurdle, Plots.jl, just works instantaneously now. That is the case for many pac…

The Julia compilation model is fairly complex, due to the Julia user's wish for dynamic capabilities combined with common features in statically typed languages. Although it may ap…

Correction: It is not that every new issue is triaged on the triage call. Issues are triaged by a group of people with triage access - and the triage call focusses on issues that h…

My comments have been mainly to address the nature of the conversation here and to provide some balance. Specifically, most readers of HN are not deeply steeped in the nature of is…

It is still planned, but I'll defer to Keno and others to chime in on the details.

If you look at the linked issue, you will see that it is a type intersection issue (a real language issue) mischaracterized as a control-flow bug. Many readers here seem to see tha…

The issue is not that the bugs are with correctness of multiple dispatch, but that multiple dispatch allows you to combine generic programming with abstract data types. Thus, one c…

I carefully mentioned that the issues (with the exception of a type intersection bug which is in the language, but was characterized as a control flow bug) are not core language is…

A detailed discussion is on Julia discourse: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/discussion-on-why-i-no-lon... Bugs are everywhere - including Python and R libraries. You would not d…

Yuri's criticism was not that Julia has correctness bugs as a language, but that certain libraries when composed with common operations had bugs (many of which are now addressed). …

I think Keno's comment above pretty much articulates my thoughts as well. I have met Yuri on several occasions and have been thrilled to see his contributions. I find the post cons…

Ask them to download Julia and try it, and file an issue if it is not fast enough. We try to have the latest available. See for example: https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/Recur…

"Small" is difficult, and it is actually in many cases, harder than "big". Small needs language support, GC support, runtime support, and is delicate - any one thing can throw off …

It would be great if you can file an issue. We usually do CI for doctests on base julia itself, and naturally need to do more of it.

In a way - because the original blog post was https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/

We've done such release highlights for the last 3 releases, and certainly hope to continue! https://julialang.org/blog/2021/11/julia-1.7-highlights/ https://julialang.org/blog/2021…

The SciML tutorials are a good start: https://github.com/SciML/SciMLTutorials.jl And also the 18.337 lecture notes (probably also has videos available): https://github.com/mitmath/…

What do you mean by "more" people? Perhaps you mean people who know? Anyone who solves a differential equation in Julia is using the SciML ecosystem of packages. The Julia ecosyste…
