I used Julia for a while and wrote a blog post about it: What do you think about this post? My Experiences with Julia - Volker Weißmann I describe my experiences using the Julia programming language and highlight its problems of bad performance and bad documentation. I find Julia code …

[image] paulmelis: Edit: in short, correct configuration of the environment is part of the challenge :wink: Oh, ok, configuration is certainly an important component! Note that documentation if the development version of MPI.jl has also notes for HPC clusters sysadmins . BTW, we have a Julia …

Does this course delves deeply into HPC side of things and is it possible to participate in it online even if you are not in Stuttgart?

No. This is an in-person workshop which, given that it’s the first event at HLRS, is primarily intended for people with basic HPC knowledge (in any language) who are not particularly familiar with Julia for HPC. There’ll be a website announcement soon.

I don’t think confidence in the language should be tied to the choice of not including a particular package in the official docs. Rust has basically the same strategy when it comes to packages: it doesn’t include fundamental packages in the standard library. Not even rand is in the standard library,…

I find a solution to the infamous error message on archlinux running julia from the official repo. ERROR: LoadError: InitError: could not load library "/home/volker/.julia/artifacts/cb7fc2801ca0133a5bdea4bc4585d07c08284cfa/lib/libsundials_sunlinsollapackband.so" libopenblas64_.so: cannot open share…

I know https://github.com/SciML/Sundials.jl/issues/334

Hardcoding paths that are necessary only on a distribution is not a solution, it’s an indication that said distribution is not doing something right.

You are right. So I now set ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] in ~/.julia/config/startup.jl.
