I’ll just add that I would use something like JLD2 if it was a bit more polished and well-tested. In the past, I did use MATLAB’s `save` utility quite extensively, even for longer term storage. Right now in Julia, I stick to CSV files and am just pickier about what actually needs to be saved to a file.
