I first tried Julia a couple of years ago. I LOVE the language, but I gave up. I tried it again a year ago. Better, but no debugger. I gave up. I could not possibly recommend it to my department without a debugger. Tried it again now. So close to giving up. Look, you have to solve the most b…

[image] ChrisRackauckas: RStudio is run by a company that has completely changed R and the packages people use. After reading the summary in the link, I’d say, scratch R then. But “at least not Python” seems reasonable. (I really didn’t know much about R anyway, I must admit.)

Other people have articulated most of my reactions when reading this thread. I’ll just note that comments like this [image] Brad_Hines: But it will require a new kind of commitment to move forward. Of course, it’s your choice. I just really hope you choose to become relevant. while probably…

[image] jonathanBieler: Personally if I had to design a language for scientific programming, I would definitively consider having graphics built-in (like arrays, or bignums are built-in), since plots are essentials for scientific programming. Having graphics from the start would probably make th…

I don’t care much for this post nor the OP. I’ve been using Julia since 0.5 days and am incredibly happy to see it evolve into what it is today. It takes a lot of time and energy to perfect something. we’ve seen great features get added and usability concerns addressed. No one claims the language is…

I am a bit puzzled by the OP because although I am glad that the debugger is available in Julia I do not use it for my own developments. I sometimes (rarely) find debuggers useful when I explore others code but it clearly not one of my priority… So complains about the syntax to use the available deb…

[image] jonathanBieler: Many languages don’t have a REPL, does that mean that Julia with its sophisticated REPL is a product ? Nay. All languages for which a REPL makes sense (ie you can compile/execute on the fly and develop interactively) have one. Not having a REPL is something that requir…

I’m thinking more of low levels graphics that the community could build upon rather than full blown plotting library. One issue with the current plotting ecosystem is that the community has to manage binary dependencies, which very regularly breaks (more or less depending on which you use). Maybe I’…

I was writing a longer post, but I’ll try to cut it down by focusing on what @Brad_Hines seems to mean by “usability.” So far I was able to glean the following from his posts (and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here, Brad): It would be nice if JuliaPro were more like MATLAB (or Anaconda, I’l…
