Julia on Spyder - [https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/1976](https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/1976)

I hope someday it will happen.

Example of great things in Spyder:

Really, having Julia on Spyder would be great for users coming from MATLAB.

Is [Revise.jl](https://github.com/timholy/Revise.jl) an adequate replacement for this feature in environments other than Juno ?

Yes, another alternative is [https://github.com/tshort/REPLinModule.jl](https://github.com/tshort/REPLinModule.jl).

I think next release of julia-vscode will have module evaluation though.

The main issue with Atom (it’s slow) is being actively worked on – the 1.19 release uses a C++ implementation of the text buffer, and it becomes noticeably faster (especially for large files). I think Juno and VSCode are roughly equivalent, so it is a matter of preference.

I use Juno + Jupyter (especially for teaching).

I use [Kakoune](http://kakoune.org/), it has great integration with tmux and can send code to repl nicely.

electric-operation now support Julia, which makes the coding life more comfortable.
