[note: moderator moved this post to new thread. It was in response to the following] [image] Couldn't be good to postpone 1.0? Internals & Design The problem is that there’s no end to improvements, especially performance ones. We shouldn’t rush 1.0 without being relativel…

[image] StefanKarpinski: The same features that make Julia so much faster than interpreted languages like Matlab and Python also make it much harder to implement tools like debuggers. This isn’t for lack of effort – it’s inherently harder to debug a fully JIT language implementation like Julia’s…

[image] StefanKarpinski: Iteration protocol change #18823 – @keno is working on this. How could we overload step function for something like [Nullable(), 1] ?

Well, for me, one of the best things about Julia is the improved programmer productivity (while retaining similar performance to C/C++), at least so far as writing the code in the first place, but not having good debugging tools makes maintenance of code take longer, so I hope that will be one of th…

I’m not sure what you meant by 8 / 9 months being faster than MATLAB as MATLAB version is released each 6 months (March and September). I think you make sense in your writing and the efforts of the team is admirable, really. But I think your response doesn’t touch the essence of what @bjarthur sai…

I stand corrected. I recalled Matlab being released yearly, but I guess the “a” and “b” part of their release names implies semiannual releases.

Maybe a mild voice of dissent, but I find the breaking changes are starting to burn me out. I like regular releases like matlab, but I think Base vision for having less breaking changes is essential not loose more “casual” users that don’t want to have multiple versions of julia around, or have to c…

I’ve just been through the process of updating a few things (notably DataFrames) to 0.7 and I have to say the process was much more painful than it was for 0.6. Some really fundamental things, in particular Array constructors, have changed. Of course I appreciate these changes because the Julia de…

[image] ExpandingMan: I’ve just been through the process of updating a few things (notably DataFrames) to 0.7 and I have to say the process was much more painful than it was for 0.6 Could you compile a list of todos that could help guide us others with what we need to look up for, think about…

I think your position is not uncommon. We’re trying to split the difference here and if we do it right everyone will be somewhat unhappy, with half of the people thinking that we’re breaking too many things too fast and half of the people thinking the opposite. Waiting as long as Python (for exampl…
