Best solution to Julia's soft scope problem?

This is a compromise between being technically correct and just doing it. This creates a local scope for you to work in.

let A = 5
    for i in 1:10
        A = A+i;
    end
    println(A)
    # Do other stuff that uses A
end

If you really want want the minimum fix, you can add a global declaration in the loop. I do not recommend it.

A = 5
for i in 1:10
    global A = A + 1
end
