Hi All, Made a package that just reexports the 5 packages most common to Numerics: LinearAlgebra StatsBase Statistics DataFrames DataStructures If you do: ] add Numerics using Numerics You now have access to norm, std, mean, etc. without having to remember which package they come from // thi…

Wondering if Random and Distributions should be included?

I don’t think it makes particular sense to try to find a one-size-fits-all container package. IMO it would make more sense to have a few and to instruct users in the Julia documentation how to use these containers for common tasks. As @Orbots pointed out, the subset of the STDLIB that folks use vari…

Maybe there should be something that takes a list of package names and then creates a meta-package for you…a meta-package creating package?

[image] PetrKryslUCSD: teaching people how to create these handy container "using"s would be even more useful. Also valid. That’s the emacs approach. Numerics.jl is the VSCode approach. Both have merit. But VSCode is just easier.

Like using LinearAlgebraStatsBaseStatisticsDataFramesDataStructures

Just added Random and SparseArrays to the package’s bundle The reason I didn’t add Distributions, StaticArrays, etc. is because I wanted Numerics to load in 1s I’m already keeping a list of slower packages though: Make Bonus Bundle for Slower Packages · Issue #1 · djsegal/Numerics.jl · GitHub /…

Perhaps there should be a basic version of this pacakge that only depends on stdlib modules, so that it could be safely used in any environment, without version compatibility issues.

I think one does not need a package. It is literally just a few lines inside (your own) module (complete code here) . Easier to change on the fly whenever your needs change.

using LinearAlgebra, StaticArrays, SparseArrays
is the first thing I type when I open julia.
