As a new user allow me a general question on the state of the art of Julia and how to use it for commercial but OpenSource real-life applications. We design and produce sensors of different types (humidity, temperature etc.). My job is to develop reference implementations on how to use the sensors,…

After a lot of work, found a solution and created a complete repository, with step by step instructions, a Wiki and an example for the Lazarus UI. See this new discussion thread for more about this. I mark this thread as resolved.

Qt cannot move its already LGPL-licensed code to a more restricted license due to a KDE safeguard that entitles them to a BSD license if they do so or don’t release a new version within a 12-month period. However, they can release new components with more restrictive licenses, such as GPL. (this is …

▶ Section split into PackageCompiler hang Also, [Package Compiler] installed the mingw compiler despite I have the MSVC compiler installed that I use for ally my C++ projects. I could not tell PackageCompiler.jl to use that compiler. I was also not able to understand how the example was created. Ther…

[image] islent: PackageCompiler.jl + CImGui.jl is my option Many thanks. The point is that in my experience I spend 80% or more of the time on programming the UI. One needs to much time until everything is bug free, meaning only those knobs and sliders are currently active that should be allo…

[image] uwestoehr: It seems I did not yet really understand the concept of Julia. This is a great observation. It’s good to think about Julia a little differently from “traditional” compiled languages, at least as it currently stands. It essentially compiles on the fly (JIT or AOT… that’s kin…

[image] uwestoehr: I cannot give a user a script he has to execute. An alternative could be to provide them with an interactive Jupyter or Pluto notebook. [image] Project Jupyter The Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computing platform. The notebook combines live code, …

[image] JM_Beckers: An alternative could be to provide them with an interactive Jupyter or Pluto notebook. We have am misunderstanding: Nobody pays his lab workers 50 $ an hour to look at e.g. a FOR loop. Confronting hard-working and high-paid persons with bare programming code is not accepta…

[image] uwestoehr: Nobody pays his lab workers 50 $ an hour to look at e.g. a FOR loop. You can make extremely visual dashboards with Pluto (or potentially other solutions) that completely hide the code from the “end user”. Of course, this still means that these users have to install Julia, b…

[image] goerz: What you are asking for is at the very bleeding edge of Julia development I am surprised. I mean, go to any research lab of a company of your choice and look how they work: there are lab workers handling different machines, perform measurements etc. there are scientists who t…

[image] uwestoehr: I mean, go to any research lab of a company of your choice and look how they work To the limited extend that I have insight into industry research labs (IBM, Google, various quantum-computing startups), they don’t seem that fundamentally different from a university research…

Hey @uwestoehr , I get that you’re frustrated. If I may intervene here, I’m quite certain that @goerz is not saying that distributing binaries and GUIs is an uncommon use-case. It is, however, not yet a common use-case for Julia. It’s not arrogance about the state of the world at large, it’s setti…
