Re: Julia 1.4
#2To answer the usual complaint whenever the release announcement gets linked here, the NEWS file is intended to give current users of Julia an overview of all the things that changed that they may want to adjust to. It is however, not designed to give people who are only casually following the project an overview of all the work that's going on and why it's happening. We've been talking about writing a more casual document like that for the releases, since they do tend to get a fair bit of attention, but that's just one more thing on an already-extensive list of things that need to be done for each release.

”It is however, not designed to give people who are only casually following the project an overview of all the work that's going on and why it's happening.
The NEWS file may not be designed for that, but IMO, it still is way better than this text, which, for casual followers, doesn’t say much more than “1.4 replaces 1.3, no breaking changes, a few new features”, without even mentioning those features, or why they were added.
Maybe, combining the two in a single document, and copy-pasting NEWS.md in the announcement, would decrease the amount of work and improve things?

Flux.jl seems to be the flagship project.

#7I wish it had more dedicated IDE besides the atom/electron based ones (like GNU Octave has its own). I think Julia's performance deserves an equally performant IDE.

This. I have been trying to learn Julia so I can promote it to replace Matlab in my company. I think everyone will like the performance, and a more modern and extensive library (also the fact that it's free will save the company a lot of money). But the atom Juno IDE looks so unprofessional, I think we will have a really hard time convincing scientists to use something which can't even undock the editor properly (I know we can open the file in a new window but it's really not the same).

#9Something about Julia from me.
I was big Julia fan using it for last 1.5 year and in my company we are using Julia for data preprocessing and parsing hundred of GB's of data.
(We also use Python for ML and start to moving julia code to Nim for data prepro)
If u consider Julia as ur next language dont use it to any medium to big project outside pure scientific purposes it just isnt ready yet.
We have about 3.5k loc in Julia at the moment for our preprocessing service and as much problems as we have with GC in Julia i never saw in any other language:
random crashesh, memory leaks, big slowdowns with long running processes and there is a lot of topic on julia forum about that still not solved.
Julia is beautiful and easy to use but it is nowhere near stable and/or fast as any other "new" languages (RUST, Nim, Golang, even Swift).
And if u consider using Julia for Deep Learning then best performance and stability in this order are:
Pytorch,
Tensorflow/MXNet/(JAX),
Nothing,
Flux.
Its a long way to go for Flux before it'll be even close in usability considering other flag frameworks.

Seems to be a thing of electron, VS code cannot do this either (and the proper handling of multiple monitors in general).
