StarWars indexing makes 4 sense.

Really? I’d love to know how to do that because I run against this issue every day. Are you in the package’s environment or using `includet`?

Revise can’t change structs in modules either. The only sane way I’ve found to handle this is using a Pluto notebook. But that’s not for everybody.

Some other nice things that come from having a type system for numerical work: - Forward mode automatic differentiation. Having a type system that allows `Dual` numbers to pass thr…

Julia doesn’t rely on any Unicode. It just gives you the option to use it. If it’s not useful to you, feel free to not use it.

A simple data structure: struct ASimpleDataStructure a b end Convert a variable to a different type: x = 1 x = Float64(x) Open a file: open(“a_file.txt”) Import foreign code: using…

The fact that images are just arrays of color objects is really neat. Like, you can just put three blue and one brown pixels together in a matrix and you have an image.

Reproducibility is a huge one for me. I’m often doing exploratory work that I’ll want to save in its current state and pick back up a few months (or even years) later. With Jupyter…

FWIW, I thought I remembered hearing that the maintainers of the Julia extension in VSCode are working on getting embedded Pluto notebooks working.

It’s pronounced “curth”

Most people who talk about “production ready systems” have never had to do any serious numerical work.
