Good evening,

Is there any package that supports to send and receive CAN bus messages for Julia?  
If not, would you suggest to use a Python library or a C/C++ library?

There is a Python package:  
[https://python-can.readthedocs.io/en/master/](https://python-can.readthedocs.io/en/master/)

But Python is a bit slow for processing CAN bus messages…

No, I didn’t. Worth writing one…

Have a look at [GitHub - tsabelmann/CANalyze.jl: Julia package for analyzing CAN-bus data using messages and variables.](https://github.com/tsabelmann/CANalyze.jl) …

But I don’t think that it supports sending and receiving messages yet…
