I created Memoization.jl to address some of the limitations of Memoize.jl . It’s API compatible with Memoize.jl (just @memoize your function definitions): julia> using Memoization julia> @memoize f(x) = (println("Computed $x"); x) julia> f(2) Computed 2 2 julia> f(2) 2 As of this writing, Memoi…

eh… so you guys can’t agree on how to combine the two into one package?

No, I just made no attempt to combine the packages or submit a PR into that one since its just a 100% rewrite.

[image] xiaodai: eh… so you guys can’t agree on how to combine the two into one package? I think that remarks like this are unwarranted. It is perfectly fine to develop a new package for something that already exists, especially if it is a complete rewrite. The package ecosystem benefited a …

Good question, the answer is it is not threadsafe with either the default IdDict nor with Dict, I can update the docs. If we had a ThreadSafeDict data type (to my knowledge this doesn’t currently exist in Julia, although ThreadSafeDataStructures.jl was on the right path), then @memoize ThreadSafeDi…

The annoying warnings with precompilation are gone! Thanks!

[image] Tomas_Pevny: Have you thought about adding an option to save the content to disk instead to some dictionary? It probably wouldn’t be crazy hard to build some sort of MmappedDict which could be pluggable into this package.

[image] Mason: It probably wouldn’t be crazy hard to build some sort of MmappedDict which could be pluggable into this package. Yea I think that’d be the right approach. It almost already works with the output of e.g. jldopen which returns a Dict-like thing. I will play with it. [image] e…
