Even though you can do `@which naked_function` it's a fair position to have that you prefer to import modules and be explicit about where they come from. I tend to prefer explicitn…

It's funny because it is true

Program structure by text formatting is a misfeature, though. What you do need though to make sure code remains readable is strong convention. I think actually that's the most uniq…

Learning a lot from this thread, seems really usfeul

Another compelling argument is that {} , while very easy to type on an English keyboard, is highly awkward on keyboards of almost any other language in the world. E.g. I'm Danish a…

That is in fact how an argument becomes an argument from authority. Also, it has become an HN meme to post the Dijkstra comment every single time there's a post mentioning Julia. I…

In fact, almost every solid julia package uses arbitrary indexing for input arrays. `for i = 1:length(x)` is discouraged in production code, instead the ideom is `for i in eachinde…

Some algorithms work better with 0-based indexing. But maybe, just maybe, there are other aspects to look at when evaluating a programming language than "it doesn't by default foll…

An important thing that many people fail to realise is that Julia-1.0 came as a surprise to package authors as well, and thus the first month of the the release has been a scramble…

To be exact, the only thing sold there is hash, though the article insists on using the blanket term "drugs". The reason it's sold there is that the commune has decided that it's u…

The blog posts highlights this as something planned. It does sort of work already, but not completely.

Just a response for a few comments, since you talk with confidence but could maybe do with a closer look: 1. You end with `end` in julia. 2. You can use indexing with any base, not…

The `length(linearindices)` and no `size` etc are for a short transitory period while packages are ported to the indexing-based-non-reliant framework.

One of the most mindboggling thing about the recurrent 0- vs 1-based indexing discussion is how incredibly rarely that difference is ever used programmatically in Julia. Most of th…

What makes you say it lacks critical mass? I don't think that's accurate, but of course it takes time. Implementation time is important, yes - but julia is not just a fast-to-run-l…

Julia supports indexing with arbitrary bases, and it generally works ecosystem-wide.
