This is just a thread to give feedback as a new user working with Windows and the problems I have. I am a medical engineer and wanted to use Julia to develop software others can use (other engineers, laboratory workers, researchers etc.) Since 100% (sic!) of our customers but also of my colleagues…

[image] mbauman: Throughout this thread I (and others) have been trying to describe the status quo. Howdy pardner! That’s me :index_pointing_up: I don’t think anyone has harped on the existence of PkgEval more than me here. As you say, BaseBenchmarks.jl is focused on microbenchmarks, and the…

[image] mbauman: Throughout this thread I (and others) have been trying to describe the status quo. … Especially so when it’s other people doing the work. A discussion needs a basis. I think basis is that there is room for improvement. There are examples where things can be made better. And…

[image] uwestoehr: And software is not so different. From my experience doing a release was: A lot of that list seems appropriate for software applications like FreeCAD, not a programming language. To engage in meta-discussion for a bit, you ran into real and acknowledged shortcomings of the …

I made good experiences with StaticCompiler. There are some restrictions due static compilation, but there is much more possible than one might think of. I summarized some experiences here .

[image] uwestoehr: after experiences and opinions are exchanged, the status quo is clear, people make proposals, the different proposals are evaluated, people think about them, refine the proposals What you describe may work for some software projects, but note that Julia (and a lot of other …

A lot has been said in this discussion regarding PackageCompiler being or not being a “core” component. Different opinions were presented including the ones from Julia founders and core developers. I’ve been developing in Julia for more than 5 years and not considering myself a newbie. This is frust…

I’m not sure if you realize that you’re arguing with Stefan Karpkinski about how to best manage “his” own project…? With all the respect to Stefan, you should not make such statements. It is not “his” own project. Julia is a community project where hundreds of people contribute. Multibillion comp…

Revise is indeed treated fundamentally differently from all other packages: it’s tested with Julia’s internal CI, alongside all the stdlibs that Julia ships with, on every single PR and commit. Does that make it a “core” package? I guess? All other registered packages are tested both on-demand, p…

[image] bvdmitri: I agree with sentiment from @uwestoehr that community should decide what is “core” and what is not. How would this even work? Who gets to vote? How do we prevent ballot stuffing and gaming of the voting criterion by outside malicious actors? It was proposed (parenthetically)…
