See some discussion from April here: [What is the best molecular dynamics analysis library in Julia?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/what-is-the-best-molecular-dynamics-analysis-library-in-julia/36865)

I would also love to hear personal takes on how BioStructures.jl fares/how it could be improved, and am the first to say that it is nowhere near the maturity of MDAnalysis.

Chemfiles is shaping up nicely, and I think provides the only way to load certain MD file formats in Julia.

Recently I put a few analysis tools into Molly, particularly Makie visualisation, though it is still early days there.
